The West GA Hud Team has recently joined RE/MAX United REO Benchmark and we are very excited about this change. This will allow us to be more involved in our community with our office instead of working remote from Atlanta as we were before. HUD as a whole has undergone transition over the past few months and lots of buyers and agents alike are in the dark about how to seek out and get HUD properties under contract with the new system. First off, in case you haven't heard, HUD has a new nationwide HUD listing website. This is a great idea. Regardless, if you are searching California or Florida, Texas or Maine...HUD's new one stop shop will hook you up. The site is www.hudhomestore.com. All Realtors who wish to sell HUD owned property will have to register on this new site prior to bidding. As with all new sytems, the bugs are still being worked out so be patient. It's a masterpiece in the making. Under the new HUD system the state of Georgia has three different marketing companies, Pemco, Home Telos and Ofori. Each of these has multiple local listing brokers which is where we come into play. RE/MAX United is contracted with Pemco and Ofori to sell HUD homes in the west GA area. I am hoping to be diligent in posting to this blog as a useful tool for buyers and local agents. Wish me luck!
