If I come across a BPO, and when I check the records for it, if it says multiple acres I won't do it.

The reasons are that it is out in the middle of nowhere, it is very hard to determine the value, and I typically cannot find any comparbles less than a year or within 20 miles back.

These orders take too long, and they don't pay more for them either.

I just tell them to cancel the order because I only do Urban or Suburban Residential orders.

Most of them haven't said anything about it so far, but I hope that they are not noting in my profile that I am inexperienced because I refuse to do BPO's of such type.

Good idea. There is plenty of work near your home. I dont take anymore work over 5 miles from home or office.

If I didn't go more than 5 miles I wouldn't get any orders.

However, I'm just saying if an order comes up in my territory, I search the records of the property and it says like 8 acres, and I cannot find any comps in that area, then I won't do it.

One time I called FAS and left a message saying before I go out to do the BPO, I wanted to make sure I would be able to use comps 15-20 miles away because that was all I was able to find and it is in a rural area.

I got an e-mail the next day that the order was reassigned.

If there is no comps, I go out of the area for comps. Just make a note of it on the bpo form. I usually get them excepted that way.
