Brandon Kirkham, SVP of VRM Mortgage Services, recently conducted a webinar for members of the FORCE on what VRM offers and the benefits of agents working with VRM.
Kirkham recommended to use only licensed agents as asset managers, then discussed what VRM has to offer: tech solutions, experience and performance, scalable expanded resources, a national direct to vendor network, technology and processes, QA processes, and a unique industry-recognized training platform that includes VRM University. VRM also supports the non-profit Seeds of Hope, is a partner with PCV Murcor, and is a founder of the Mortgage Collective.
The benefits of agents trying to work with VRM as discussed by Kirkham are: as an agent you are an educator and advocate, as an agent you have a direct connection and expertise with your local marketplace, and you are a problem solver for issues such as property condition, financing, closing, and timeline management.
Kirkham also discussed factors that could threaten an agent’s value, such as a negative performance on execution of SLA requirements, customer service, offer management, or broad market exposure; the cost to use an agent; alternative platforms such as auctions, agentless transactions, or CWCOT; or presence in the marketplace.
