What does a broker opinion of value (BOV) look like?

[Aamir V.]

I was listening to the CRE Fast Five podcast and heard that it's a good idea to get a broker opinion of value every year.

Is that really true? Do you get one from multiple brokers?

Most importantly what do they look like? Is it just a comp report from CoStar?

I have a strip center in Texas we are thinking about and wonder if this is a typical first step to feel out good broker candidates.

Thanks for the thoughts!
