I am selling this for a client and struggling to find any information using Google image search and looking up the markings on the back side. Curious if anyone recognizes the markings or could give me any insight.

Perhaps your dresser is made by Warsaw Furniture Co. of Warsaw, KY.

From seeing similar styles online, I believe your dresser is a reproduction of styles made in the 1800s-early 1900s.
I say reproduction because the state abbreviation is in caps - KY - and this abbreviation was used beginning in 1963.
It seems there was a place/store named BMF Co in Warsaw, KY, but very little information appears online.
Warsaw, KY was well known for having numerous furniture factories and many of these did not have/use their own brand but placed whatever name the buyer used/wanted instead.
I believe BMF is where it was originally purchased.
Warsaw Furniture Mfg. Co was located in Warsaw, KY, but they placed their brand name or initials on their furniture.
Warsaw Furniture Manufacturing Co. was in business from around the turn of the 20th century until at least the 1930s.
Well-made reproductions can still be valuable, so you may want to check with several other sites to be sure of its value.
I use Reddit a lot because the members usually provide excellent information.
You will have to join but it's a good site.

It won't be super easy to sell. This kind of formal furniture is in low demand these days. Everyone seems to want Ikea.
Also, location usually defines the final value as shipping will be costly and heavy furniture is usually listed as local pick up only.
You may have to test the market in your area by listing with a higher price and, if/when necessary, lower the price and consider offers.
I think it will help you to set a value to your dresser:
