The document is maintained by the BPO Standards Board to establish industry standards.
Broker Price Opinion Standards and GuideLines v4Matthew Rathbun
BPOSG is a compilation of Standards and Guidelines for the Broker Price Opinion industry. To clearly delineate between Standards and Guidelines, BPOSG is divided into two sections.
ÿ Standards are absolute and must be adhered to without exception.
ÿ Guidelines are best practices and must not be confused with Standards. Guidelines are best practices and/or procedures that are widely accepted, yet allow for flexibility in application. The Guidelines contained in BPOSG allow for flexibility and exceptions to the Guidelines are entirely acceptable. Commentary is recommended for any situation that falls outside the Guidelines set forth within BPOSG.
