“Determining Appraisal Adjustments – Opinion Isn’t Enough” 7-hour CE Course by Richard Hagar, SRA (7 hours CE)
The appraisal process is supposed to reflect reality - the reaction of buyers and sellers in the marketplace. Appraisers typically utilize three approaches to value. The appraisal process usually requires the appraiser to apply “market adjustments” when determining market value. Adjustments used throughout the appraisal are not the appraiser’s opinion, they must be based upon the market’s response. Market adjustments must be based upon facts, proper support and should not be based upon subjective opinion. This 7-hour class will explain the various methods and processes that can be used for determining or measuring the market’s response to a component and the processes available to the appraiser when creating an appraisal. This version of the class dives deeper into 13 different methods appraisers can use when deriving adjustments and “walk through” several examples using the Excel program.
