How Saunders Real Estate got BOVs from 4-8 hours each to about 30 minutes
A thorough broker opinion of value took a senior broker four to eight hours, several times a week. BOVs now draft in the firm's own template with a cited valuation narrative, and review takes about 30 minutes.

The Challenge
What was actually in the way.
Saunders Real Estate produces broker opinions of value constantly, and a thorough one ran four to eight hours of senior broker time. Several a week is most of a working day gone.
That made the BOV the bottleneck on winning listings. An owner asking for an opinion is a live opportunity with a clock on it, and the firm's turnaround was set by whichever senior broker had a half-day free.
The Solution
What PSV built.
PSV built the BOV analyst against the firm's own templates and comp library. The draft comes out in the format Saunders already sends to owners, so there is no reformatting step between the system's output and the client's inbox.
Comparables are pulled per assignment and the valuation narrative is drafted with its support cited, so a reviewing broker is checking reasoning rather than assembling it.
The firm's own judgment stays where it belongs. What changed is that the broker starts from a complete draft instead of a blank template.
01
The firm's own BOV template
Output lands in Saunders' existing format rather than a generic valuation report, so nothing has to be rebuilt before it is client-ready.
02
Comp library
Comparables are pulled and filtered per assignment off the firm's own library, keeping the market support consistent with how the firm already works.
03
Cited valuation narrative
The written rationale carries its sources, so a reviewing broker can check a conclusion without re-deriving it.
The Impact
From half a day to half an hour. Same-day answers for owners.
Senior time per opinion dropped from four to eight hours to about 30 minutes, roughly eight to sixteen times faster.
Owner enquiries get a same-day response. On a competitive listing that is frequently the difference between being in the conversation and being late to it.
The firm kept its own templates and comparables, so the BOV that goes out is recognisably theirs.
4-8h → 30m
Senior time per opinion
A broker opinion of value went from a half-day build to a 30-minute review of a drafted one.
Same day
Response to owner enquiries
Owners hear back the day they ask, which is often the whole difference in who gets the listing.

Firm's own templates and comparables
The output is Saunders' BOV, in Saunders' format, off Saunders' comp library. Nothing was standardised away.
In their words
“We use PSV to underwrite IOS deals and produce BOVs in 1/10th the time it used to take us.”
