Scottsdale, Ariz. – April 29, 2010 – According to Frank Patrick, foreclosure trash-out and reo specialist, having 100% accurate and complete BPO’s (Broker Price Opinions) is a key ingredient needed for REO agents to have a continuous stream of REO listing assignments. 

In a recent article on http://www.ASREOS.com, called “How To Get REO Listings: Button Down Your BPO’s,” Frank Patrick emphasizes the importance of being accurate and complete with your BPO’s.  “BPO is a tool used by lenders and mortgage companies to value properties in situations where they believe the expense and delay of an appraisal is not necessary,” Frank writes.

Frank lays out in the article a formula that includes four key steps that REO Agents can take to help increase the accuracy of their BPO’s.  “If your adjustments aren’t consistent and on the money, then you’ll be asked to do it all over again – and your quality control score will suffer.    There’s a way to avoid that unfortunate situation – by using the formula in the article to accurately calculate the adjustment,” remarked Frank.
