The Creola Job
Posted on | December 6, 2006 | No Comments
Today’s route was extremely routine. I started my route of inspections in one of the lowest income neighborhoods in the county.  I recorded the value of the first home on the route as $15,000 and that may have been generous.
I am trying to be a bit more focused on my posts. I keep reminding myself that the primary reason for my entries is the education of those interested in the Field Services Business.
Everyday I am pleased to hear from readers of this blog and on some days quite surprised at the number of people that call or e-mail to let me know they are reading, or to tell me why they are reading.
Today I had the pleasure of talking with:
- Jack in Louisiana
- Turner in Florida
- Betty in Oklahoma
- Todd in Georgia
Two callers just starting their business and two already somewhat in business.
I want to remind you once again to check properties very closely. Look for even the slightest hint of water damage, freeze damage, fire damage or breaking and entering. This is the time of year for increased reports of damage from all of these causes.
Here are pictures of two houses, one of which I inspected years ago and another I have never inspected. Both of these houses were ok a couple of weeks ago. I know because I pass by them regularly. Now, both are total losses to fire.
My route included two properties in Creola Alabama. One was a residence on 4.5 acres of land, a large lake, around 4,000 square feet under roof, and vacant! There was a “For Sale” laying in the road near the house. I called the broker to see if indeed they had the property listed for sale. “Yes, it’s listed at $280,000″. The last property on my route has been vacant for better than a year and I record its value at $250,000.
Routine, routine, routine. Not boring but still quite routine. I saw them all today, $15,000 mansions to $280,000 mansions.
Modifications have been made to some  industry terms in the glossary and I added a few new entries at The Rep Report. As usual, I made quite a few changes and additions to the Mortgage Field Services Business Manual.
Work requests continue to climb. Almost two hundred came in today and I only completed 28 for the day. Todays secret code is (28 • 6.50).
