Bpo 5000 works with almost all custom
or local MLS systems. We just need to
match your field names with BPO5000, a
5 minute job.
This entire procedure should not take
more that a few minutes of your time
and will save you many hours in the
future. Almost all MLS have an option
to create a custom report, export and
save the data from a search of comps
to the user’s personal PC. Most
agents are not aware that this feature
is in place and have not used it
previously. This is a one time
procedure. From that point, Import
them into bpo5000. The result is
awesome.
The common procedure is to perform a
normal comp search, 3 active and 3
sold. Rather that printing, emailing
or viewing ,one of the options should
be to “export” or “save” the data as a
file. The format option needed for
bpo5000 is comma-separated (a .csv
file) the file will contain all of the
property data for each comp in a
readable format by the computer.
Most agents have been able to find the
“export” option, save the file on
their PC. Once the file is of the
right format you can match your MLS
fields with bpo5000. You could
use the file in Excel for your own
purpose or in bpo5000. In order
for the program to work you must
create a CUSTOM REPORT or custom list
in this exact order:
MLS NUMBER,
ADDRESS, CITY, ORIGINAL LIST PRICE,
LIST PRICE, SOLD PRICE, LIST DATE,
SOLD DATE, BEDROOMS, BATHS, SQUARE
FEET, PROPERTY TYPE, STYLE, LOT
DIMENSIONS, YEAR BUILT, GARAGE, DAYS
ON MARKET, ZIP CODE AND CONCESSION
AMOUNT.
The .csv file should look like the
example below. If you MLS
requires more than 1 field for the
address, we have the solution.
If you are not able to create a
"custom report" or “export” the file,
your MLS. Simply call tech
support for your MLS, they should be
able to show you the procedure to
create a custom report and export a .CSV
file from a search. Most agents
never take advantage of the classes
offered by the board or the MLS tech
support.
**SAVE THE .CSV FILE TO
SAVE TO
C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\BPO5000\DATASOURCES\GLENFIELD.CSV
FOR WINDOWS XP.
The next step is to open the .csv file
you saved and make any changes you
desire for the subject and all comps
i.e convert year built (1950) to
age(58), convert lot size(45x1000) to
acres (.11) or whatever you want to
appear in the bpo form.
The final step is to open the
bpo5000 Browser and Navigate to
the BPO you wish to complete.
Then select the comp you want to
fill in from the list and double
click on it or press the Play
button. |
