Webinar Description

USPAP states that appraisers are not to make unsupported assumptions about market
conditions.

Does low supply mean higher prices? That is one old assumption you need to verify in today’s market.

  • High and Low Price (excluding outliers)

The Killer Workfile template includes tabs you can customize for the way you work:

  • Add tabs for other Excel files like Market Change.
  • Use the Killer Workfile template to archive screen shots.
  • Save everything you see on screen in one convenient file.
  • Email yourself a single Excel file for access to everything you may need in the field.
