That's RIGHT! NAR is now offering a "Certification" (with a pin and everything!) for BPO providers upon completion of the one-day course and the free webinar.
Here's a blurb from their site
With the changing real estate landscape and the increased use of broker price opinions (BPOs) by market participants, the National Association of REALTORS® is offering a new certification, BPO Resource, recognizing REALTORS® who have completed NAR’s BPO education program. The new certification course provides REALTORS® with knowledge and skills to reduce risk and increase opportunities to create professional and accurate BPOs. This one-day course will explore the multiple uses of BPOs, how they can and cannot be used, and how to filter and select comparables to create expert and precise BPOs.
Upon completion of the core course, “BPOs: The Agent’s Role in Property Valuation”, members will need to take a free webinar and pay a one-time fee to earn the BPOR certification. Members who earn the BPOR Certification will be eligible to receive BPO orders and earn BPO revenue.
Benefits:
- Eligibility to receive BPO orders
- Usage of the BPOR letters after your name and in your marketing materials.
- BPOR digital certificate.
- Differentiation as a BPOR in the Realtor.org Online directory
- Logo files that can be used on business cards, email signatures and print ads
- BPOR pins available for purchase
- No annual certification dues (must maintain membership in NAR to use BPOR)
- Differentiation as a BPOR on Realtor.com® (to come)
- Elective course for the ABR® designation
