Course 1 (morning)

Eliminating Bias and Developing Cultural Competency (3hr CE)

All California appraisers will need to take this class before they renew their licenses, but there is no reason to delay! The topics in this class are important and timely – and also interesting. You will get up-to-date information about what is happening in the courts and in administrative bodies relating to alleged discrimination in appraising from an attorney who is presently handling cases and investigations. You’ll learn key ways to work on eliminating bias and reducing your legal risk. You’ll also learn why “cultural competency” knowledge and skills are truly important for appraisers – you’ll see how a lack of cultural competency had led appraisers into legal quagmires.

We’ll explore these topics using real-world cases and investigations.

Tuesday, Oct. 10th | 9:30am-12:30pm MT / 10:30am-1:30pm CT

Course 2 (afternoon)

Six Recent Appraiser Lawsuits and the Lessons from Each (3hr CE)

Attorney Peter Christensen will talk about six of the most current, interesting and important cases involving real estate appraisers. From each case, Peter will draw the key takeaways and offer guidance relevant to the everyday work of appraisers. Key takeaways will include information like: the most important verbiage for appraisers to include in reports to decrease their liability risk and the single most common mistake made by an appraiser that leads to a legal claim.
