BPO Fulfillment

In the past I've completed many BPO's for a company called "Main Street" back in 2002 up until maybe 2012. I never had a problem with payment or  fee's to complete BPO's. The average fee for an exterior or interior BPO was $55-65. Last year I received notice that the name "Main Street" was being changed to "BPO Fulfillment". This appears not to be the same company. You talk about slow pay, I haven't been paid for assignments completed in January and when I contact them regarding pymt, I'm told to send a email and they will get back to me because they don't have an accounting department on site. I've stopped completing assignments for "BPO Fulfillment", but, I see numerous assignments coming to my email everyday. Many of these assignments pay $30. Why are agents accepting BPO's and completing them for $30. I'm insulted when I get a email requesting to complete a assignment for $30. I always decline them and/or request a higher fee. When I complained to "BPO Fulfillnment", it was made clear to me that agents accept them and complete them for $30; there is no need to pay more. Do agents realize that they can earn more working at a McDonalds and get paid every other week. Has anyone been paid by "BPO Fulfillment"? Some of their exterior assignments pay $60-65. These are the only assignments I accepted. But, too date, I haven't been paid for any assignments completed this year. I will not complete another assignment until I get paid. BPO's have gotten more complicated and require more research and time to professionally complete these days. I'm going to open a BPO company -accept a BPO exterior for $65 and send out an email blast and see how many agents I get to complete it for $30. It seems, I can make $35 off each one. What an idea????? Herman

  • Thank you Sam, recently I have noticed $15.00 and $25.00 for Drive By 30 to 40 miles away. I think this is disgusting and very insulting. I plan to remove my name from their system soon. First I want to see if I can talk to one of their managers before I move on. We work too hard to be insulted by these BPO Companies.

  • I emailed to head. Threatened with putting a mechanics lien on all the properties I had done. I had a check cut that same Friday!

    • Got a cheque on 9/15 for work done 8/1 thru 8/30......Manageable waiting.

      Few people fall for their initial offer. Almost all wait until it bumps higher.  I have seen $120 for drive by. They charge customer around 150 and more for interior so what they pay brokers are enough to pay for peanuts.

  • It is October 2016, BPO Fulfillment Company need to improve on their payment and the offer of $25.00 to do BPO - 30 miles away. I think it is an insult for agents to accept BPO at $25.00: Your time, Your driving and the equipment you use in taking the pictures. Then you sit down to pull information from the MLS. I have just got into them, but am disgusted with the offers on BPOs. Now that I read that they do not pay, am cutting them out.

    • I have been able to call and negotiate higher fees. But quite frankly, I think even asking some one to do a BPO @ $25 is an insult. 

  • Considering the cost of an appraisal, they should be paying us a much more respectable fee, but they exploit us for cheap labor which often turns out below minimum wage when you break it down. Ridiculous.

    • The worst part about this is that they make us "guestimate" things that there is no way of knowing-and I am pretty sure they are passing it off as FACT in some portfolio some where-very much like when the loan officers were doing no income check loans and passing them off as viable payers. 

    • speaking of that, it has slowed way down with BPOs this month, in fact the last week. Very strange. Even my property inspection and field visits are way down.
