NEW SEMINAR! Appraisals or reviews of the most experienced appraisers can have inconsistencies in data, analysis, and reporting. This fast-paced and thought-provoking seminar focuses on significant inconsistencies that can have a major impact on the credibility of the appraiser as well as the value opinion. It will bring to light inconsistencies that can affect any part of the appraisal process including the definition of market value, highest and best use, the three approaches, functional and external obsolescence, and reconciliation. Eye-opening discussions and practical problems (including ag problems) will keep you interested and engaged throughout the day. Objectives:
- Recognize inconsistencies with the definition of market value and the need to stay consistent with the type of value opinion developed.
- Understand how the highest and best use decision drives the remainder of the appraisal process and how to stay consistent with highest and best use.
- Realize the need for consistency within and between the three approaches to value.
- Determine what constitutes functional and external obsolescence and how to maintain consistency with both in all three approaches.
- Complete a thorough, meaningful, and consistent reconciliation.

This seminar will explore how technology, pandemics and GSE modernization efforts work in the aggregate to offer profound challenges to the valuation professional. Topics will be artificial intelligence, mobile technologies; machine learning, AVMs, the death of appraisal forms and how the existing landscape will experience a tectonic shift over the next 3 years. In addition to providing a perspective on the changes that are beginning to emerge, participants will hear a variety of opportunity paths that will allow them to make sense of the changing environment and what they can do to make the most of the opportunities emerging from this seeming chaos. A sample outline of the seminar discussion:
Appraisal Modernization requires a discussion of:
-
- Artificial Intelligence (The “Other” AI)
- Machine Learning
- Automated Valuation Models (AVMs)
Appraisal Modernization Includes:
-
- New Forms
- New Processes

- Chapter Dinner Meeting to follow
- Seminar created and presented by Joseph S. Durrer, Jr., MAI, SRA
The thrust of this seminar is:
Scope of Work Rule clearly sets forth for us:
“The appraiser has BROAD flexibility and SIGNIFICANT responsibility in the manner of detail and manner of disclosing the scope of work in the appraisal report or appraisal review report.”
Yep! We’re talking about that 30+ year old mandate – USPAP!
We, as licensed appraisers, can never get away from its requirements and guidelines. Presented for discussion and analyses is a series of “Attention-Getters!”
- It’s that gotta’-always-stay-pumped-up attitude – WHY?
- What role does USPAP play?
The numerous “Q & A’s”, plus the “I-Knew-Better-Really!” attention-getters are designed to challenge the licensed appraiser via the hands-on solving by the class. The suggested solutions of these scenarios will be in many forms – including solving mathematically via case studies.
______________________________________________________________________________________
There will be a SMALL set of materials to print. They will be emailed to you.
Separate registration is required for the dinner meeting, but please make plans to attend!
