Recently, I came across a Facebook conversation that caught my eye. The topic? The time it takes to complete a Broker Price Opinion (BPO). The answers varied widely, from spending an entire workday to just about 20 minutes. This disparity got me thinking: Why is there such a significant difference in time investment, and how can I help?
The Facebook Conversation: A Snapshot
The conversation began with a real estate professional sharing her struggle with Asset Valuations, mentioning that it takes her almost an entire workday to complete a single BPO. She wasn't alone; others chimed in with similar experiences. Some mentioned they were spending an hour or more, especially when the BPO required extensive documentation and images.
My Approach: Efficiency is Key
When I read these comments, I couldn't help but think about how I've streamlined the BPO process for myself and my mentees. With the right approach and tools, I've been able to complete BPOs in just 25-35 minutes. Yes, you read that correctly. And I teach my mentees to do the same.
The Secret Sauce: Mentoring
One of the most effective ways to reduce the time spent on BPOs is through mentoring. I take pride in guiding my mentees through the intricate maze of BPOs, teaching them how to be both efficient and accurate. The result? They can complete a BPO in less time than it takes to watch an episode of their favorite TV show.
The Untapped Potential: Passive Income
While I won't go into depth here, it's worth mentioning that BPOs can be a source of passive income. The more efficiently you can complete them, the more you can take on, leading to a more robust income stream. Stay tuned for more on this topic in future posts.
Conclusion
The Facebook conversation I stumbled upon highlights a significant issue in the BPO industry: the need for efficiency. If you're spending hours on a single BPO, it's time to reevaluate your approach. And if you're interested in learning how to master the art of efficient BPOs, feel free to reach out. I'm always open to mentoring aspiring professionals in this field.
