Case Summary:The plaintiffs in this class action lawsuit allege that the fee Wells Fargo assessed borrowers for Broker’s Price Opinions (BPOs) was improper because it was greater than the amount Wells Fargo paid to the brokers who performed the BPOs. A BPO is an informal valuation of property, like an appraisal, but it is typically performed by a real estate broker.
