Winning At A BPO

BPO is an acronym for Broker's Price Opinion. In general, the term Broker's Price Opinion (BPO) is a method that a Real Estate Broker (or an agent acting on behalf of their employing broker) uses to estimate the value of a Real Estate property/house.

The estimate of value is submitted in a BPO report (2-3 pages) that includes local and regional Real Estate market information, neighborhood analysis, and (comps) properties that compare to the (subject) house that is being valued. This method of estimating a value has similarities to a Certified Market Analysis CMA and a residential Real Estate appraisal.

The following video features one of my students going through the negotiation process, with a financial institution, that will lead to the submisison of a BPO report. I hope you enjoy the video.

  1. How has your market performed over the last quater? Down here in Orlando, prices were up 5% and closings were up over 40% over a year ago. Most are attributing it to the home buyer tax credit but I've seen some foreign money coming in and I think investors, particularly fromm Brazil have determined that we've hit the true bottom and they are jumping in.
