Submit a Bid

Overview

Once you have reviewed a Request for Proposal (RFP), you may choose to respond with a bid or decline the opportunity. Bids are submitted through the RFP response form within the PARCEL platform. This form gathers your pricing, turnaround time, signature, and any disclosures or comments relevant to the assignment.

Viewing RFP Details

At the top of the RFP response page, you will first see a summary of the request, including:

• Assignment Address

• Report Type (e.g., Commercial Appraisal Report)

• Number of Sites

• Bids Due By and Report Due By dates

• Requestor Information and Property Characteristics such as type, subtype, size, year built, and tenancy

You can click the Download full RFP details (PDF) button in the upper right corner of the page to get a complete copy of the assignment specifications for your records or offline reference.

Completing the RFP Response Form

Fill out the required bid response information on the form located below the RFP summary. Fields with a red asterisk are required.

Submitting or Declining the Bid

Once all fields are completed, you have two options:

• Click Submit Response to send your bid to the lender.

• Click Decline RFP if you do not wish to submit a bid for this opportunity. No further action is required if you decline.
