Signup with as many REO companies as you can find. Join REO membership sites.

And here's the important tip.
Signup for small unheard-of communities and towns near you. i.e., If an asset manager needs an agent for the city of Bithlo Florida, he/she may not know that this is actually a city within the Metro-Orlando area, so he/she is less likely to call on their regular REO agent.

Then sit tight and wait. If you signup with enough companies, there will be a need for an agent in a small unheard-of area near you, and you may get it.

This will get you in the door. Do a really good job, then discuss a large area like Orlando or Chicago with your asset manager. They have regular agents, but any agent that makes his/her job easier, is an agent that they would love to work with over and over again.
