Success Story 3: REO Sales

“With VPS, the buyer knows the property has been cared for.”

Linda O’Donnell, a specialist in selling REO and foreclosed properties for more than 20 years, says the VPS system greatly improves a property’s image, safety and overall showing experience. “That can facilitate a faster sale and lead to a higher price,” she adds.

Linda is owner of RE/MAX Signature, which helps leading financial institutions sell their foreclosed properties in Chicago. She has seen many trends and knows that today’s buyers are very savvy when it comes to purchasing foreclosed properties for rehabbing, “The VPS system sends a clear message to the buyer that the property has been cared for and protected – and that’s an important factor in a successful sale,” she says.

Security is also a major concern for Linda and her agents working in changing urban neighborhoods. “When I go out to a property secured by VPS, I personally feel very safe walking in knowing I can lock the door behind me and will have adequate lighting. I don’t expect to run into anyone inside so that’s a big benefit.”

Linda has a strong reputation for service and getting results for her clients, so her standards are high. “My experience with VPS has been excellent. They work very well with us and are always there when we need them.”
