Inconsistency: It’s Hiding in Plain Sight
in Your Residential Appraisal

Instructor: Maureen B Sweeney, SRA, AI-RRS
Date: May 23rd, 2024
Location: Rockford Area Realtor Association Offices
  1161 Tebala Blvd
  Rockford, IL 61108
7 Hours of State approved CE



Description
Sometimes inconsistency in data, analysis, and reporting escapes even the most seasoned appraiser. This can have a major impact on the credibility of the value opinion in the appraisal report and on your credibility as an appraiser. This seminar focuses on significant inconsistencies that can affect categories like the definition of market value, market analysis and highest and best use, the three approaches, functional and external obsolescence, and reconciliation. Broad discussions about the entire appraisal process, topics you may not have given much thought about recently, will be lively, intense, and eye-opening. Every residential appraiser will find this seminar beneficial. If you are a residential appraiser who wants to expand your practice to non-lender work or you are already doing non-lender work, this seminar will take your analytical abilities to the next level!

Additional Information
The course is offered at Rockford Area Association of Realtors 'NEW' location at 1161 Tebala Blvd., Rockford, IL. It is in the same building as the Upper Iowa University campus in Rockford. Coffee, water and soda will be provided. FREE Parking. Lunch will be on your own. There are numerous restaurants and hotels within a short drive of the classroom location.
