REO asset managers are looking for a more sophisticated listing analysis to make sure properties are valued appropriately.
DRI Management Systems in Newport Beach, Calif., has worked diligently to figure out ways to analyze properties internally to come up with the most accurate price for real estate owned assets, according to Duke Olrich, president and chief executive officer.
It is very critical to come up with a good price. That means, working with vendors and appraisers you have confidence in. You dont want to chase the market listing, said Mr. Olrich. Our clients are asking for more sophisticated prices, an accurate number that will sell in a reasonable time frame, within 60 to 90 days. You dont want to be half a step behind the market.
In todays down market, California, Florida, Nevada, Arizona, Ohio and Michigan continue to see large numbers of REO properties. High volumes of loans are going into foreclosure and ultimately into REO, and the values are going backwards. Losses are increasing in these states.
Investing in the right technology can help Realtors and brokers dispose of more REO properties through unique marketing strategies. Technology tools allow asset managers to communicate better with REO brokers, said Mr. Olrich. More importantly, it can help strengthen the offer side of the transaction. With a good approval engine, the real estate broker types the information in, and someone at the asset manager is notified that they have an offer. If necessary, a counter offer may be appropriate or additional approvals may be necessary.
DRI is developing the next generation of default management software, code-named Rincon. Scheduled for 2Q08, this new solution will take advantage of the latest technologies while retaining and building on the functionality of our current suite to provide the most functionally rich and productive tools available.
