What Is A Broker's Price Opinion
A broker's price opinion - sometimes shorthanded a BPO - is the process used by a hired sales agent to determine the potential selling price or estimated value of a real estate property. A broker's price opinion is popularly used in situations where a financial institution believes the expense and delay of an appraisal is unnecessary.
Barnett & Hill Delivers Broker's Price Opinions
In the last year, Barnett & Hill agent Brandon Heard devised 252 broker's price opinions for regional banks. Of this count, 83 were for commercial properties, 125 were drafted for residential properties, and 44 valuation opinions were delivered for ranch and residential land.
Since he began offering broker's price opinions, Heard has been a popular choice with area banks. He provides prompt valuations and, often, Heard will respond with an executed broker's price opinion in 48-72 hours. Occasionally, he has delivered an opinion in 24 hours if speed is crucial to underwriting. His familiarity with recent transactions and his concise assessments yields a document that benefits lenders that require support as they underwrite loans.
