Inconsistency - It's Hiding in Plain Sight in Your (commercial) Appraisals - Virtual

Larry Wright, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS
Tuesday, March 21, 2023 - REGISTER HERE

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.



Marketability Studies: Advanced Considerations & Applications - Virtual

Robert Moorman, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS
Tuesday, April 4, 2023 - REGISTER HERE

This seminar will provide practical, hands-on training for experienced appraisers in the development and
application of Level C market analyses in valuation assignments. Participants will solve specific problems relating
to market analysis (i.e., supply/demand) as well as applications of market analysis to highest and best use and
valuation. The single most important goal for this seminar is to provide useful tools using advanced market
analysis techniques to measure and support valuation analysis applications throughout the appraisal report.
