A defensible workflow
Build the reasoning trail, not just a price box.
A useful broker price opinion form keeps reported facts, observed condition, comparable evidence, adjustments, and the final opinion connected. Reviewers can follow how the agent reached the range and return a specific section when something is missing.
Structured comparable records
Give each sale or listing the same address, status, source, distance, dates, price, property characteristics, and adjustment fields. Consistent records make side-by-side review practical and reduce facts disappearing into a long narrative.
Observation limits made visible
Branch the form for interior or exterior-only assignments. Require the agent to record access, inspection scope, occupancy indicators, unavailable areas, and the difference between public-record facts and what was personally observed.
Conclusion tied to evidence
Place the value range, recommended price, expected marketing time, and rationale after the market and comparable sections. The broker supplies the professional judgment; the form makes its supporting inputs easier to inspect.
Adapt to the assignment
One foundation for four BPO workflows.
Start with the assignment type, then reveal only the relevant inspection, valuation, marketing, and review questions. Client instructions and local practice still determine the final fields and wording.
Interior property review
Capture room-level condition, improvements, functional issues, repair observations, utilities, occupancy, and interior photos in addition to the standard subject and comparable sections.
Exterior-only observation
Record the drive-by scope, visible maintenance, neighborhood context, public-record sources, and interior limitations without presenting unseen features as observed facts.
List-price recommendation
Add competing inventory, price-positioning scenarios, buyer pool, financing observations, repair strategy, and marketing-time assumptions for an asset manager's disposition review.
Brokerage quality control
Use a separate review path to flag mismatched facts, stale statuses, unsupported adjustments, missing images, arithmetic discrepancies, and client-specific omissions before delivery.
Build your BPO intake
Turn client instructions into a repeatable field report.
Generate the first structure, replace generic choices with the client's requirements, test the comparable workflow, and route completed submissions for review. Makeform organizes collection; the broker remains responsible for the research and opinion.
Name the BPO type, property class, intended workflow, required comparable count, valuation scenarios, photo set, reviewer, and client terminology. Include effective dates and any required source citations in the prompt.
02
Edit sections and conditional paths
Add the client's exact status options and instructions. Show room details only for interior access, repair strategy only when relevant, and revision questions only when a reviewer sends the BPO back.
03
Test one complete property record
Enter a sample subject and every required comparable. Confirm date and number formats, required source fields, adjustment logic, image uploads, conclusion fields, and the experience on a phone before distributing the form.
04
Route submissions for review
Notify the brokerage coordinator or assigned reviewer, tag interior and exterior orders separately, and send structured fields to the chosen tracking workflow. Keep revision notes attached to the assignment identifier.
Collection method
Why a generated BPO form beats a generic document.
The right format depends on the client's delivery process. A generated form is strongest when a brokerage needs repeatable collection, conditional sections, complete uploads, and an internal review trail before transferring information into a client's required system.

Field guide
What a broker price opinion form should include.
These six sections create a reviewable path from the order to the broker's conclusion. Adjust them to the client's instructions, property type, permitted scope, local requirements, and the brokerage's own review process.
Assignment control
Anchor every answer to the right order.
Start with identifiers and dates so uploaded images, comparable research, revisions, and conclusions cannot drift away from the assignment. Distinguish the inspection or observation date from the value's effective date, and state the intended BPO scope.
Client, order number, loan or asset reference, and due date.
Broker name, brokerage, contact details, and relevant credential fields requested by the client.
BPO type, purpose stated by the client, observation date, effective date, and revision number.
Subject property
Separate known facts from field observations.
Collect standardized subject characteristics alongside a source and as-of date. Then place occupancy, access, condition, improvements, and adverse observations in their own fields. This prevents a public-record value from looking like an onsite measurement.
Address, property type, site size, living area, age, rooms, parking, and source.
Access method, occupancy status or indicators, utilities, and areas not observed.
Interior and exterior condition, updates, damage, deferred maintenance, and explanatory notes.
Neighborhood & market
Record the market around the property.
A price opinion needs context beyond the parcel. Use explicit choices plus narrative support for supply, demand, price direction, marketing exposure, land use, and factors affecting marketability. Ask for evidence periods rather than vague labels alone.
Neighborhood boundaries, predominant use, build-out, and property conformity.
Inventory balance, competing listings, sale-price trend, and typical marketing time.
Proximity to services and observed influences, with neutral factual descriptions.
Comparable evidence
Make every comp reviewable on its own.
Repeat the same structured block for closed sales and active or pending listings. Capture the transaction or listing status, source, verification date, and property differences before asking for an adjusted indication. Never let one combined paragraph substitute for the evidence.
Address, distance, source, status, list and sale dates, prices, concessions if known, and days on market.
Site, living area, age, design, rooms, condition, features, and location differences.
Individual adjustment amounts or explanations, net and gross context, and adjusted indication.
Repairs & supporting media
Connect condition notes to visible support.
For assignments that include repair analysis, capture each item separately with location, description, priority, estimate source, and amount supplied by the broker or another identified source. Organize uploads so a reviewer can identify the subject, room, view, or comparable shown.
Itemized repair or maintenance observations, estimated cost, and estimate source.
Front, rear, street, address, room, damage, and comparable photos as required.
Captions, capture dates, file labels, and additional documents requested by the client.
Opinion & review
End with a reasoned range and clear limits.
Place the broker's as-is value, repaired-value scenario if requested, recommended list price, marketing-time estimate, and rationale together. Include scope limitations and conflicts or interests requested by the client, then send the record through brokerage review before delivery.
As-is range, repaired scenario, suggested list price, quick-sale scenario if requested, and effective date.
Comparable weighting, adjustment rationale, reconciliation narrative, and marketability comments.
Broker acknowledgment, signature and date, reviewer decision, correction notes, and BPO-not-appraisal disclosure.

What is a broker price opinion form?
A broker price opinion form organizes the property facts, market observations, comparable sales and listings, condition findings, adjustment reasoning, photos, and value conclusion used by a real estate broker or agent to provide a BPO. It creates a consistent reporting structure for the assignment. A BPO is not the same as an appraisal, and the appropriate use, disclosures, and permitted preparer can depend on the client, location, and assignment.
What fields should a broker price opinion form include?
Start with the client and order number, subject address, preparer, BPO type, observation date, effective date, access, and occupancy. Add sourced subject facts, condition and repairs, neighborhood and market trends, repeated blocks for closed sales and current listings, adjustment explanations, photos, marketing time, as-is and repaired scenarios when requested, recommended price, reconciliation narrative, limitations, broker acknowledgment, and review status. Match the final version to the client's instructions.
How should comparable properties be collected?
Use one repeatable block per comparable rather than one large text field. Ask for address, proximity, data source, verification date, status, list and sale dates, prices, days on market, concessions when known, site and building facts, condition, features, location differences, adjustment amounts or explanations, and an adjusted indication. Keep closed sales separate from active or pending listings so the reviewer understands the evidence each group provides.
Can I make separate interior and exterior BPO paths?
Yes. Begin with an assignment-type choice and use conditional logic. An interior path can request room-level condition, utilities, improvements, interior repairs, and room photos. An exterior-only path can focus on what was visible from permitted observation, public-record sources, exterior condition, street context, and clear access limitations. Both paths can share assignment, subject, market, comparable, conclusion, and review sections.
Does this generator calculate a property's value?
No. It generates the form structure used to collect and organize BPO inputs; it does not research comparables, verify property data, choose adjustments, or determine value. The qualified broker or agent performs the analysis and enters the opinion according to the assignment and applicable requirements. Avoid presenting automatically derived arithmetic or a form submission as a substitute for professional judgment or an appraisal.
Is a broker price opinion the same as an appraisal?
No. A BPO is a broker's or agent's opinion prepared within the scope of a particular assignment, while an appraisal is a distinct professional service performed under its applicable standards and requirements. Do not label the generated BPO form as an appraisal form or imply equivalent status. Confirm whether a BPO is appropriate for the client's purpose and what disclosures, credentials, or review are required in the relevant jurisdiction.
How can a brokerage review a BPO before delivery?
Add reviewer fields for subject-data consistency, source and effective dates, comparable distance and recency, listing status, adjustment explanations, arithmetic, photo completeness, access limitations, repair support, reconciliation, and client-specific instructions. Let the reviewer approve, request a revision, explain each discrepancy, and attach a corrected file. Use the assignment number and revision number to keep the review connected to the right submission.
Is the broker price opinion form generator free?
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting responses with your form. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge. You can begin with a sample prompt, revise the generated sections and field wording, test the complete BPO path, and publish when it matches the client's workflow.
