I get alot of short sale bpo's, full interiors, where a short sale contract has been presented, and my job is to give the lender the best idea as to whether or not the short sale contract is an accurate reflection of the marketplace. It took me a long time to get to this place with a few select bpo vendors and believe it or not the email for the task does not get broadcast nor is it timed for my response. The lenders have come to trust my valuations as fair.
That being said a request was given for me to do an interior bpo for a short to verify the market. I called the listing agent within 1 hour of the assignment, she called back and said she was working on getting me access. Today the lender calls to advise that if i cant get in by monday they are going to kill the deal.
I relay the message and get a return call of , oh I have heard you do this from many other realtors, but my client is being difficult. The clients home started at 499k and is now at 285k list. To top that off the listing says immaculate, totally updated, now I can't get in. Nothing like a seller that can't get out of their own way to save themselves.
If your doing a short, at least be smart enough to change the comments once it goes to contract. Second never ever deny access to the bpo guy, it sends red flags to the lender.
