Fraudulent Westminster Colorado BPO Company

brokerpriceopinion.com and First Valuation....You Should Be Aware Of Their Business Practices
The following has been forwarded to the Colorado Attorney General, Fraud Division. They are responsible for contunuing this fraudulent solicitation scheme and I will continue to pursue yourself as well as others who knowingly deceive real estate agents. You cannot claim ignorance as a Defense
Attention: Marcia Waters, Colorado Attorney Genreal, Real Estate Fraud Division
My name is Paul Ulrich. I am an agent and live in Boston. I was solicited by a company in Westminster Colorado. Company goes by 2 names, brokerpriceopinion.com” and “First Valuation”. The address for both companies is 8700 Turnpike Drive, Westminster CO. 80031. The telephone number is 303-991-9919.

My complaint is against both the companies as well their employees who are soliciting agents, like myself, to perform work. Work Orders which they have no intention of paying for. The solicitation comes in the form of a call from one of the “Boiler Room” solicitors called “Broker Coordinators” asking if I would conduct a “Broker Price Opinion” on a certain property. This work requires that the person being solicited drive to a certain property to evaluate its condition. It requires taking pictures of the property, personally evaluating the property condition and comparing it to other properties in the area that are similar The process usually takes at least 4 hours to complete and then you submit a report Once the company receives the report and accepts your work, the work order is listed as complete. …. For this you are supposed to be paid a fee (in my case anywhere from $40 to $75 per work order. The company originally told me they would pay in 30 days (they deny telling me that). When I inquired the next time concerning payment, they told me 60-90 days for payment. When payment did not occur in this time frame, they said 90 days. It’s a game they play to push payment out as far as they can so not to pay at all.

I have completed 38 work under my name as well as 7 work orders placed with the real estate office that holds my license. That is a total of 45 completed work orders for which they owe me $2,000+.

The company has over 440+ complaints with the Colorado Better Business Bureau and has an active class action suit  filed in the Denver District Court for exactly what I am filing this complaint…..NON PAYMENT.

Of course like many before me, I didn’t check the company’s BBB file until I got concerned of this SCAM. That’s when it became clear that this was FRAUD…. Fraud conducted by not only the company but also their employees/solicitors who are very aware of this deception and on a daily basis continue to solicit real estate agents, like myself, knowing full well the company has no intention of paying for work completed.  As I stated, this complaint is not only being filed against the company and its ownership. This is also being filed against their employees as well. Those who call on behalf of the company to solicit real estate agents to work as independent contractors are well aware of this scam. Employees such as: Sarah Sandoval (Accounts Payable), Broker Coordinators… Jennifer Echavarria, …Alex Gere, ….Brandy May, ….Marissa Rodriguez, …Lisa Gere, ….Cassandra Ulibarri, ….Vicky McCulloch and …Roberta Haugen. These are some of the Broker Coordinators that I have dealt with. They continue recruiting new agents with this deceptive practice.

I would like to be paid in full….IMMEDIATELY.

Their record with 440 complaints with the BBB and the active lawsuit speaks to their lack of integrity and that of their employees

There’s a total of 45 work orders that need to be paid.

 

All The Best

  • They weren't Cartel, were they?

  • and years ago they went by another name (escapes me) Stiffed me out of 150.00, they filed bankruptcy and I thought they were gone for good.  Must be careful of Colorado and California BPO companies.  Their prior name was West something...maybe someone remembers
