Welcome to C_REPS, a website created for individuals interested in real estate. Our aim is to provide engaging and informative articles on topics such as home improvement, DIY projects, and general real estate information to the public. We operate collaboratively, utilizing a network of super agents and brokers to deliver the highest-quality, peer-reviewed content.
C_REPS (Certified Real Estate Pricing Specialists) is a nationwide network of top-performing agents and brokers who go above and beyond their typical responsibilities of marketing, selling, and purchasing houses by generating home pricing reports known as Broker Price Opinions (BPOs). These reports are requested by banks, lenders, mortgage servicers, and real estate valuation firms. BPO work inherently requires a C_REPS to stay on top of the market and to intimately know their service area more than a regular agent or broker. To complete BPOs, C_REPS must thoroughly inspect each house, property, neighborhood, surrounding area, and anything that will influence value. Most C_REPS perform BPOs every day, so they have honed their skills and stay in practice virtually every day.
The BPO Certification Authority for C_REPS is the National Association of BPO Professionals (NABPOP). The “C_REPS” designation is granted to NABPOP members who successfully complete the BPO course, pass the rigorous BPO certification test, and satisfy the performance criteria. The C_REPS designation is performance-based, and the better a C_REPS performs to uphold their designation and certification, the more work they receive.
To become a C_REPS, individuals must;
- Be active members of the National Association of BPO Professionals
- Adhere to NABPOP’s code of ethics
- Achieve a score above 80% on the NABPOP BPO Certification test
- Complete the performance criteria
The performance criteria involve;
- Submitting case studies of BPO experiences or scenarios
- Reviewing and submitting suggestions on BPO educational materials
- Submitting articles related to BPOs, valuation, and/or home pricing
- Coaching and/or mentoring less experienced BPO practitioners.
