My membership is expiring and the renewal states it is 180.00 that seem kind of high since i never recieved anything to start with. I thought some told me it was like $75.00.

I can teach them more about BPOs then they can me after so many years of experience!

That fee is for 3 years...........$70 is for one year.

Ok thanks Candy, that seems more reasonable

This time around I chose to go with the 3 year. The reasoning behind it was due to all their work on the Congress/Appraiser issue. They didn't twist my arm.......was just a personal thing.

Just got email that my NABPOP renewal was due. I would have rather had a call telling me that I had a surprise colonoscopy tomorrow and it was time to start my prep work.

I got it too SMG.... Ugh!

Do you know if you sign up for the 3 years do you still have to take the "renewal" test every year?

I recently renewed and didn't have to take any test. I don't think it's a requirement, but if you re-certify, you could wind up higher on the list of brokers in your area.

Are you a C-REP?

I am and the directory shows my certification date back in 2009. I haven't taken any of the tests since then and am still second on the list in my area.

When I renewed mine last year, I had to take a condensed version of the test to maintain my certification.

Mine comes up in July. Blah.

Do I hear it's not worth the bucks?? was contemplating taking the course- doing BPO's since 2002,40-70/mos- wonder what else I could learn?

I wouldnt do it if there were already several agents in my area doing it. When I signed up, there were zero certified in most of my coverage area. It got me a little work, maybe 5 orders that I know of.

Flip side of that is, my uncle lives in Pheonix, and has been with NABPOP for a while. There is also a large number of certified there, and he has never seen any work directly related to NABPOP.

I do it strictly for the EML piece. I do get a few extr BPOs every year for outside companies as a result of this. I am still confused about having to retest. I am going to just to be on the safe side. Not certain if it is necessary or not, but it will not hurt I guess..
