REO” stands for “Real Estate Owned” properties. REO properties are known as bank owned residential property, bank REOs, house foreclosures, etc. “REO companies” are businesses that deal exclusively with these investments. Foreclosure has been all over America for the past couple of years.

Foreclosure has been all over the country and is expected to continue even longer. Foreclosure is now considered an industry.

Several homes are available in every stage of foreclosure. There are a number of companies springing up all over the country who aim to dedicate themselves in the acquisition and resale of reo properties.

They are called “REO companies” or “REO Asset Management Companies”. As foreclosure properties continue to pull up headlines, a number of investors and real estate professionals start to approach banks and lenders for the lists of bank REOs.

Selling prices of each house is included in the REO listing provided by the bank. Buying foreclosed properties used to be an informal process but soon change when foreclosure become prevalent all over the country.

Specialized companies began to sweep the country due to the increasing number of properties that banks and lenders would want to get rid off.

These new “REO companies” deal only with “distressed” real estate, including bank owned residential property, homes in various stages of foreclosure and homes that are in jeopardy of foreclosure. A lot of businesses like to consider themselves as “REO asset management companies”. However, most are not making any money. This is because they lack one or more of the following: experience, strong management, funding/cash flow, relationships with banks and lenders, networks of realtors, contractors and appraisers, etc. However, profitable business companies have all of these attributes and proven business processes.
