Hosted by Scott Cullen and Tim Andersen
In Episode 5 of our webinar series, How to Excel for Appraisers, we focus on Reconciliation. In the valuation process, it is very common for appraisers to apply more than one approach to value to their assignments. When two or more approaches are used, appraisers must reconcile the value indications.
The goal of this webinar is to equip appraisers with a deep understanding of using weighted analyses to reconcile value indications (Gross adjustments, proximity, recency of sale, ranking etc.) within an approach, and then to form a final value opinion.

Changing markets with few current sales may warrant time adjustments. A time adjustment to a similar sale from several months ago may be more credible than several adjustments to a recent sale.
This webinar aims to teach appraisers the basics of excel and how to make a market change adjustment. Participants will receive a Market Change Excel template and user manual. Using the template and manual, participants will learn how to export MLS data and analyze and report market change immediately. This recorded webinar will also teach participants how to build and replicate their own template, so it can be reused for future assignments.

Hosted live on November 26th by Bryan Reynolds and Hamp Thomas.
2-hr training webinar on the topics of ANSI, measurement standards and square footage.
A high percentage of appraisers measure houses wrong. Errors in square footage is the number one issue that leads to legal claims in real estate and appraising. We all understand Price-Per-Square-Foot, but no one agrees on what defines a “finished sqft.”
In this training webinar, Bryan Reynolds and Hamp Thomas discuss some big issues and upcoming changes to ANSI, as well as the common errors appraisers make when measuring houses, and how to avoid them. Learn best practices and specific techniques for measuring the “tricky areas,” like bay windows, dormers, fireplaces, sloped ceilings, stairs, below grade, etc.
You’ll also receive a discount for Hamp Thomas’ 7hr CE course, ANSI, Home Measurement & The Power of Price Per Square Foot.
