How do you become an REO Agent for Chase?
To become a Chase REO vendor, please follow these steps to start a Chase REO vendor application:
- Go to Chase Commercial Bank’s REO webpage (Resources section) and click the ‘Vendor Application Form’ link. This application form is a specification list or checklist to help you prepare your package. It would be best to open it and then print it.
- Chase generally requires proof of the employer’s liabilities, including their automobile, fidelity bonds, workers’ compensation insurance, and similar certificates. So, make sure you have the evidence of bonds and insurance ready. The complete details are given in the application form.
- It would help if you had your business’s monthly report package sample, as this forms the core of your application. Besides, attach the required resumes and brochures, relevant license copies, and the business Certificate of Good Standing issued by the state you wish to apply for. Usually, you will have to submit licenses related to sales and managing broker business. Fill out your application and attach the reference list and copies of the required documents.
- Change your application form and the attached documents into a digital format and email this package to REOproperties@Chase.com.
You will receive a notification from Chase if they have approved you as their vendor. You may have to wait several weeks since they need sufficient time to verify your credentials and documents in detail. After the approval, your business/company name will be added to Chase Bank’s active vendor list. They refer to this file whenever they need the vendors’ services on a contract basis.
