Who signs a REOMind valuation: the AI or a person?

A person. The agents gather comps, title records and market data and draft the work. Every BOV is reviewed and signed by Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, and no email goes out without a person approving it.

What are the four steps an asset moves through?

Value (a signed BOV in five business days), Decide (a committee-ready hold, repair, lease-up or sell plan), Market (buyers who can close, with a LenderMatch financing path) and Close (offers screened, a clean file for the examiner).

The Commercial Real Estate Distress & Disposition Score, the scoring framework that runs inside REOMind.ai. It weighs financial health (40 points), operational stability (30) and undervaluation signal (30) from 11 core inputs.

What does a commercial BOV cost through REOMind, and how fast is it?

$1,500, delivered in five business days, and credited back against the commission if the property is listed with Linton Global Solutions within 12 months.

Is a REOMind BOV an appraisal?

No. A broker opinion of value is prepared by a licensed broker under Florida Statute 475.612. It supports pricing, disposition and portfolio decisions where an appraisal is not required.

What does the BOV Desk agent do?

Logs every valuation order as it arrives, sets the due date, pulls parcel and title records, and keeps the deadline in front of the broker.

What does the Bank Outreach agent do?

Ranks Florida banks and credit unions from FDIC and NCUA call reports by OREO and nonaccrual real estate, and prepares a personal note to the Special Assets team for the broker to review.

What does the Listing Hunter agent do?

Scores distressed commercial parcels from recorded foreclosures, liens and the tax roll, and finds owners who need a broker before the lender takes title.

What do the Lead Desk and Prospecting agents do?

Lead Desk reads every inquiry within 15 minutes, drafts the first reply and books the call. Prospecting researches institutions and contacts, cites a public source for every name, and builds the day’s call list.

A CREDDS score is 41. Which tier is it?

Significant distress (35–49). Scores of 50–100 flag high-opportunity disposition candidates, 25–34 moderate distress, and 0–24 a performing asset with no material distress signal.

Financial health 28/40, operational stability 17/30, undervaluation 21/30. Score and tier?

28 + 17 + 21 = 66, a high-opportunity disposition candidate (50–100).

Only 2 of the 11 core CREDDS inputs are available. What score comes back?

None. With fewer than 3 inputs the framework returns “insufficient data” instead of guessing.

A $2,400,000 REO costs 9% a year to carry. What does a six-month committee delay cost?

$2,400,000 × 9% ÷ 12 = $18,000 a month, so about $108,000 for six months, before any drop in value while it waits.

A bank orders a $1,500 BOV in March and lists the property with the broker in November. Net cost of the BOV?

$0. November is within 12 months, so the $1,500 is credited back against the commission.

CRE Glossary

REOMind (REOMind.ai)

Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, uses REOMind.ai to value and sell bank-owned office, retail and industrial property for banks in Tampa, Orlando and across Central Florida through Linton Global Solutions.

REOMind.ai is an AI platform built by Linton Global Technologies for bank-owned (REO) and distressed commercial real estate. Five AI agents pull comps, title records, call-report data and market data and draft the work; a Florida-licensed broker at Linton Global Solutions reviews it, signs every valuation and approves every message before it is sent.

The name joins REO (real estate owned, the property a lender takes back after a failed loan) with the idea of a mind that never stops reading the file. In practice REOMind.ai is the operating system behind a Florida REO and distressed-property brokerage: it values assets, ranks which banks hold the most OREO, finds distressed parcels before the lender takes title, answers inquiries within minutes and builds the day’s call list. The machine does the research; a person makes every decision.

What REOMind.ai Does

Values the asset. A signed broker opinion of value in five business days, built from LGData comps from the Florida tax roll, recorded title and lien history, and the property itself.
Frames the decision. Hold, repair, lease up or sell as-is, with the numbers for each path and the carrying cost of waiting, written for a credit committee.
Scores the distress. The CREDDS Framework (Commercial Real Estate Distress & Disposition Score) weighs financial health, operational stability and undervaluation signal.
Markets to buyers who can close. Every listing ships with an underwriting package and a LenderMatch financing path.
Closes clean. Offers screened for proof of funds and terms, one point of contact, and a file ready for the examiner.

The Five Agents

BOV Desk (valuations): logs every order, sets the due date, pulls parcel and title, keeps the deadline in front of the broker.
Bank Outreach (relationships): ranks Florida banks and credit unions from FDIC and NCUA call reports by OREO and nonaccrual real estate, and drafts a personal note to Special Assets.
Listing Hunter (deal flow): scores distressed parcels from recorded foreclosures, liens and the tax roll, and finds owners who need a broker before the lender takes title.
Lead Desk (response): reads every inquiry within 15 minutes, drafts the first reply and books the call.
Prospecting (research): researches institutions and contacts, cites the public source for every name, and builds the day’s call list.

What REOMind.ai Is Not

Not an appraiser. A BOV is a broker opinion under Florida Statute 475.612, not an appraisal.
Not an autopilot. No valuation is signed and no message is sent by a machine.
Not a lender or an investment adviser. Linton Global Solutions is a real estate brokerage. REOMind.ai and CREDDS provide decision support only.

The Playbook Behind It

The disposition method REOMind.ai automates is written out in Michael R. Linton's book, The Bank REO Disposition Playbook: value the asset three ways, compare disposition paths on net proceeds and time, run the sale like an M&A process, and document the decision for examiners and the board.

A Worked Florida Example

A community bank in Polk County holds a 14,000 SF Lakeland office building as REO, carried at $2.4 million. At 9% a year for taxes, insurance, upkeep and lost yield, it costs the bank about $18,000 a month. The bank orders a REOMind BOV: the signed value comes back in five business days at $2.1 million as-is, and the CREDDS read is 28 of 40 for financial health, 17 of 30 for operational stability and 21 of 30 for undervaluation, a score of 66, which flags a high-opportunity disposition candidate. The committee approves a sale at the BOV in one meeting instead of waiting two more quarters. Six months of carry avoided is about $108,000, and because the bank lists the building with Linton Global Solutions, the $1,500 BOV fee is credited back. Hypothetical figures.
