I am a licensed Real Estate Agent and was contracted by Broker Price Opinion to perform visual/drive by appraisal services for homes being foreclosed in the Houston, Texas, area. We agreed to $20 to $80 per appraisal. Between February and July of this year, I submitted 30 appraisals. I am owed over $1,000 and they tell me they will schedule the payment but can never give me a date. They have already been paid by the banks but refuse to pay me. I have a complaint into the BBB to help mediate and get my payment and I also wrote to the Colorado State Atorney General Office. They are keeping a file and advised me today that if there are enough complaints they will open an investigation and prosecute this theiving dishonest company.
Please never do any work for broker price opinion or First Valuation. If you have been conned by these theives, contact the Denver BBB and also write a note to the State of Colorado, Department Of Law, Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection Section (800)-222-4444 or (720)-508-6006, .coloradoattorneygeneral.gov/cp
Dishonest, deceptive practices need to be stopped.
