For Asset Managers

RE/MAX Gold - Barb & Company serves the REO division of RE/MAX Gold.  Barbara Shewmake personally oversees all REO Assets from occupancy check to closing with the assistance of an outstanding REO staff. 

Barb's team is CDPE Certified and possesses unsurpassed real estate knowledge, exceptional negotiation skills, and an understanding of the local market that can only be gained by life-long residency.  Because Barb has lived and worked in the Yuba-Sutter Community her entire life, she is very knowledgeable and well networked, which comes in handy when there is an urgent need that arises with a property or an escrow.  What that means to our Asset Managers is that they can count of Barb to have the resources to solve any problem, at any time, and get things done.  The combination of Barb's expertise, experience, and resources equals the highest net for our clients in the least amount of time.  We know how to boost your numbers and help you get your bonuses! Your numbers are important to us!

We invite you to check up on our assets often!  You will never find one of our assets unkempt, without utilities on, or in any way unready to show!  Barb takes a great amount of pride in being the very best in her field.  Barb's REO Team runs like a well-oiled machine and includes:

·         Transaction Coordinator to insure the flow of necessary paperwork is complete and on time, assisting Escrow, Cooperating Agents, and Clients to insure we have a complete file, are ready to close, and have all legally required documents in place.

·         Multiple buyer's agents to insure that every asset is marketed to the fullest possible extent.  This allows for consistent and regular OPEN HOUSES until sold.  This also insures that no buyer ever 'falls through the cracks' because someone is too busy to answer a call or show a property.

·         Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable manager.  This insures that REO bills get paid on time and reimbursement requests are submitted on time.

·         Multiple assistants to insure our properties have eyes on them constantly to avoid problems, prevent vagrancy, and vandalism.
