With the people, process and technology we have in place, we are well positioned to grow our customer base and expand the BrokerPriceOpinion.com brand.""

The company uses client-specific rules and criteria to create customized valuation solutions for BPOs and appraisals on its Web-based software platform.
The company says its BPO product is unlike others, because it is based on standards, reasoning, and methodology, making it more like an appraisal.
