A Freddie REO that I bought was one where they did not offer to pay for title, so I ended up closing at a title company I selected (since I had to pay anyway).So, I'd first find out what they are willing to pay for, and then determine whehter there is any real savings by using the bank's title service.

Might not be so bad if theres large chunks of same address ones that you can easily see so you can select a bunch to delete at a time, but still... might take some time that way :-P*edit* Oops!

We select a property and prepare a rough estimate of rehab cost and verifiy that with contractors once property is under contract during the inspection period.

Now that the bank has multiple offers on the table, everything changes...While the bank could select one of the offers and start negotiating now, what they will most likely do is to ask each buyer to submit their best offer (called "highest and best").

If I buy stock in a company, I carefully select companies whose managements are working towards that one goal.

I can make outgoing calls and select my GV number to show on caller ID.It's an incredible free service.

Always try and bargain when selecting one.

Many are national and you can select one.

We also give sand to select properties with driveways or stairs that people can slip on.I always carry sharkbite caps in all sizes on my truck in the event that we have a line blow out.

As far as the title company, I figure I am ok selecting my own company as the addendum supersedes the original contract.
