CPD 132 Webinar: More than Just Form-Filling: Creating Professional Residential Appraisal Reports

December 2, 2021 (10am-12pm PST)
2 AIC CPD credits
Register

This webinar course explores how residential appraisers can use appraisal forms to their full advantage, yet still produce professional results. In light of challenges from AMCs and AVMs, residential appraisers must re-think the “value” relationship – in terms of both the credibility of their market value conclusions and the value they offer clients. More detail in appraisals helps both goals -- not only do you avoid difficult questions later, but you also produce a more detailed, more professional appraisal that may better address your client’s needs and thus better support your desired fees. Win-win! This webinar outlines the common areas for difficulties with residential form reports and suggests practical solutions to avoid these issues.
