BPO companies for Notes

[Alecia Bolton]

I'm getting to the point where my current process for getting realtor opinions for AIV/ARV is painful. What is your process for getting pics of the property to assess current condition and a BPO? Do you use someone local or are there nationwide companies that can provide this?

We have used Dickie Baldwin (Baldwin Advisory Group), Accurate Group, SGPNow.com (Safeguard), DataTree, Raven Spatial, and others to get some combination of BPO/property condition report, drone imagery, desktop appraisal, AVM, etc. Most of the time the actual work still gets farmed out to someone local but we are not typically coordinating directly with that person.
