Fannie Mae designed Form 2075 to be used along with an AVM to verify that the subject exists and obtain information on the neighborhood and the subject's conformity with its surroundings.

BPO(Broker Price Opinion)

Some of the factors that a broker will consider when developing a price opinion include the value of similar surrounding properties and sales trends in the neighborhood. The location of the property and its place among its surroundings factor into the opinion. Comparable listings and recent sales affect the price opinion for a property. Brokers will also take into account an estimate of any of the costs associated with getting the property ready for sale and/or the cost of any needed repairs. It is important to note that a broker's price opinion is not the same as an appraisal.
