Make MONEY doing BPO's a FREE LIST part 1 

bpo

BPO: Broker's Price Opinion. These are generally ordered by banks, asset managers and relocation companies wishing to determine the FMV (Fair Market Value) of a property. These are not appraisals! A BPO will look at he subject property, 3 recent and comparable sales and 3 active listings. Then factor in any needed repairs and determine a FMV.

 

  • Agents can sign up with any number of companies and be on the list to be contacted when a requebpost for a BPO is made within their area.bpo

  • Expect to earn anywhere from $40 to $150 for doing a BPO depending on it's complexity. Some just require a drive by and 3 exterior photos others are more complex and require an interior inspection, photos of all rooms and prices for required repairs.

  • You can expect payment to take up to 30 days after completion as most companies cut their checks either every 2 weeks or every 30 days.

  • Each supplier will have their own website and forms which are completed on-line and the photos uploaded to their site.

  • Below is the first part in my BPO list. I cannot, however, vouch for the payment history with these companies and will let the agents that have experience with them comment on this post.

 

  • Doing BPO's is a great way to increase your knowledge of values in your area and make some income in this slow market.

harford county maryland real estate foreclosure reo christian agent

I have lived in Maryland all my life and been an active real estate professional for the last 20 years.

 If you have a home to sell in Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Harford County or Cecil County call an agent that knows the area and works hard to make you a satisfied client. I specialize in Bel Air, Abingdon, Aberdeen, Forest Hill, Perry Hall, North East, Kingsville and the entire I95 corridor. For 20 years I have helped people buy and sell real estate and specialized in REO and foreclosure properties for investors and homeowners.

 When I am not helping my clients with their real estate needs I enjoy spending time with my family and my Pomeranian Zeke, bible study, gardening and foreign mission work. In 2007 I founded Micah Missions a non-profit company designed to raise awareness and funds to assist the struggling Haitian refuges in the Dominican Republic.

I did receive a list and instructions from someone on how to get registered with some banks to conduct these BPO's however, after speaking to an agent and she stated that it has taken her about 3-5 hours to do each one. That is really not worth my time. I would rather spend that 3-5 hours speaking to past clients getting referrals and/or calling prospects that I have met at an open house or a class that I teach and get thousands of dollars vs. 50-150 and hoping the banks pays you for your work. I have spoke to agents that have completed a BPO back in July and are still waiting for payment. It's hard for me to put time into something hoping to get paid. I already do that with Short Sales.

Thanks so much for these links. I think that I spent at least an hour last night signing up for the ones from your other blog. I hope that it pans out. BPO are not that time consuming and if you are used to doing cma's often it is not much different and only takes an hour or so.

 

Thanks again!

I just got notification from Real Law Central that the Appraisal Institute is investigating the legality of BPO's. Personally I think they might be on to something here. A rose by any other name is still a rose.

You are one organized BPO lady! One could make a living off of this list. I have done work for most but there are several here I had not heard of.
