Frequently Asked Questions
Many people may have questions about Keystone and how we work. If you have any questions that aren't addressed here, just ask us!
What is a Broker Price Opinion?
A broker price opinion, or BPO, is a real estate professional’s opinion of the value of a property. A BPO is used by lenders and mortgage companies use to provide an estimate of value when they believe that the investment of both time and money that an appraisal requires is unnecessary. BPOs can be either exterior or interior depending on the requirements of the client.
What do I need to partner with Keystone?
An active real estate license in good standing is a requirement. While we prefer at least three year's experience, it is not required. We ask that you have access to your local MLS, Errors and Omissions Insurance, and that you are willing to complete a background check.
What does it cost to partner with Keystone?
There is no cost to partner with us. Once you partner with us, we will send you a monthly commission payment for the reports that we were able to complete on your behalf.
Is it required to have BPO experience to partner with Keystone?
No. While we are certainly willing to partner with real estate professionals who have completed BPOs in the past, we will create and manage a BPO business for professionals who have no prior BPO experience.
How do I get paid?
We pay our partners monthly via direct deposit, check, or Zelle, whichever is preferred. We pay a commission based on the revenue that we recieve on your accounts that month.
How much money can I make?
The money that you make can vary by market. Partners typically make more the longer they are active with us, as it takes time for BPO accounts to grow and mature. With that in mind, we offer a monthly minimum commission of $100 starting the first full month you are partnered with us. The top long-term partners make over $1000 a month. Our average agents make over $300 a month in passive income.
