how many real estate agents sell foreclosures vs don't sell foreclosures ?

how hard it is for a real estate agent to "break into" the foreclosure / reo market?

about the biggest dangers or risks for real estate agents when selling a foreclosure?

about the income level of real estate agents that sell foreclosures vs those that don't?

Any one can help me with these question !

Are you asking about listing REO property or Selling REO property listed by others?

We have 70 agents in our office. 2 get foreclosure listings. They both have been in the business a while and had a good connection to a REO bank.

There are risks: They often get to knock on doors and deliver the cash for keys letter, or be present during the sherriffs eviction (2 people got killed in Stockton last week during an eviction). Agents have to cover all carrying costs and get reimbursed (lawn, utilities, etc.). And they get sued a lot.

OTOH, one of them gets lots of listings and drives a very nice Mercedes.

You're a little late to be joining the REO party.
