LPSP% formula: Sale Price divided by Listed Price equals % ratio. Realtors used this as a marketing tool for convincing Sellers/Buyers that listed/sales price falls within the market trend, it appears that Realtors my possibly used this or a similar application when performing BPO's and as a tool in determining the stated value of a BPO. I also review BPO's Nationwide for quality control purpose and have notice that this is a common practice performed by Agent/Brokers not all but most. This is not a valid application for Appraisers' to use this is why we use applications such as: Mean, Mode, Median as well as Absorption rates which results are base upon a large pool of data not 1 comparable nor an assumption. Please keep in mind Appraisers', unlike Realtors have a responsibility to cert... 02/11/2009
