TREC proposed amendments to Section 535.17, Broker Price Opinion or Comparative Market Analysis. The current rule requires license holders to provide a written statement with specific language when giving a broker price opinion or comparative market analysis to 消费者. 美国职业足球大联盟s and RPR should provide the disclaimer when a BPO or CMA is created through these plat形式.

The proposed amendment adds “Estimated Worth or Sales Price”—which would include Automated Valuation Models (AVMs)—to the types of items given to 消费者 that require a written 信息披露 statement.

如果采用, the required 信息披露 statement would change to the following and would need to be reproduced verbatim and in at least 12-point type:

“This represents an estimated sale price for this property. It is not the same as the opinion of value in an appraisal used by a lender to approve a mortgage loan.”
