I tried to join reobroker.com but they said they only have one agent per territory, and my territory was full.I have purchased 4 different asset manager lists over the past two years, but three were ineffective with outdated information and many email bounce-backs or returned mail.The best list I found was at www.RealEstateTarget.com; I did a successful snail mail and email campaign, and picked up three new banks and an account with LPS.I cross-referenced the list with AMs on the attendee or speaker list at conferences like 5 Star and REOMAC, and attended the conferences and sessions, making every effort to meet them in person.

The speaker at these meetings is unimportant, usually.
