About REOConnection
REOConnection is an organization of real estate brokers, attorneys, title companies and contractors all working together toward a common goal: To provide superior support services to the asset manager and REO owner. We are REO vendors just like you. We have extensive years of experience and understand the REO business from the top down.
REOConnection was one of the first major national associations organized to provide a forum of networking opportunities in the real estate owned (REO) servicing arena linking REO vendors with their clients.
We open doors to attorneys, title companies, contractors and real estate brokers who are just starting out, as well as experienced agents who want to broaden and deepen their relationships with their clients. We have long-standing rapport with banks and servicing lenders that ensures streamlined, stress-free interactions.
We take an active role in educating our members about how to be successful in this growing market. Throughout the year, we offer numerous opportunities for members to participate in events and meet and greet clients. We have a unique way of interacting with our clients, and we will teach you how to do it.
