Mauri, I have never been to REOMAC, but I can vouch for Five Star. I've attended the past couple of years and have even taken their courses to earn my Five Star Designation.
Last year was an absolute mad house, but I attended several break out sessions, got a ton of information and met and exchanged contact information with a lot of Asset Managers, VPs and Vendors. I felt the networking opportunity alone was invaluable and well worth the investment.

Hello Mykel, So good to hear from you. I see your name from time to time, and remember our working together . Thank you for responding to my question. Mad house, I would expect. Did your connections get you any new REO business? Listing, etc? Leads that came with $$$? There are so many online meetings and ways to connect with the asset mgrs. Bottom line Mykel, for the money and you knowing me as you do, is it worth the money this year? This year seems to be very expensive. Are you going?
My company offers preservation and rehabilitation services through out Florida. I am planning on attending the Five Star Conference, but may switch to the REOMAC conference due to proximity, etc. Any thoughts? I would imagine either conference would be beneficial for a company like mine to market and network at.
I would also opt for REOMAC - I was at Five Star last year and was extremely disappointed, although their classes were good, there were way too many agents and all the lenders were making themselves scarce because of the bombardment. At least REOMAC does maintain a decent ratio.

I attended both last year and will attend both again this year. I actually picked up 2 new accts at 5 Star and made some great contacts are REOMAC. I also learned quite a bit by trading info with the attendees.

… Hello Realtors/REO Pros, I had been doing last minute planning to go to the 5 star conference. I have never been to one, but I have been a Realtor for 20 yrs. I want to go, but I can't get over the $975 ( approx) price tag. I really do not know if it is worth it. I am a Broker in CA. My REO Broker relationship is Has been only with Ocwen and Titanium Solutions. I will be spending at least $1700 between, lodging, travel, conference expense, and food. Help me decide if I should go. Will this really help to develop new relationships with Default Mgmt Companies. Will I get listings? Referrals? Should I wait for the REOPro conference, or are there better ways to develop new relationships with good companies? I developed both of my REO Mgmt relationships by internet and a phone call. Please help. I am not cheap but want to invest my money wisely. Thanks in advance for your response. Delete Comment

There are alo of agents,however you still can make some good contacts. If youre coming this way, let me know Id love to meet you there.
