I got an e-mail this morning from the folks at PMH Financial.  I am a registered agent with PMH Financial, although they’ve never assigned an asset to me.  I do hear they’re good to work with, though.  So anytime they send me an e-mail, I perk up and pay close attention.

Social networking

It seems that PMH Financial – led by Ken Blevins, CEO – has started a new web site, REOSocialNetwork.com.  There isn’t really a shortage of networking sites for REO professionals – it seems like the opportunities for social networking are mushrooming even as the REO business remains flat.  When you think of it, though – all the more reason to have more opportunities for social networking, because, increasingly, it’s going to be more who-you-know rather than what-you-know when it comes to getting into a lender or outsourcer’s REO database as an active REO agent or broker.

It’s a pretty cool site, and is based on software from Ning.  Ning is web site that allows people to create their own social networking sites – a very clever idea.  The first time I ever came across Ning was REOPro – another REO social networking site, with thousands of members.

The REOSocialNetwork is free to join, so there’s no good reason not to, unless of course you’re already overwhelmed with your other social networking sites.  I’ve already created my profile there and I look forward to watching the site grow.  I hope to see you there!
