Highest & Best Use Seminar

Target audience: Appraisers

Highest and Best Use is often cited by reviewers as an area of weakness in appraisals. While proficiency with HBU is fundamental to the appraisal process, it is a tricky concept. This seminar is designed to hone your understanding of the application of HBU analysis in the appraisal process. You will review the terminology, process and methods of market analysis and highest and best use analysis as applied to real property appraisal. Using illustrations from rural and urban real estate, the seminar utilizes many examples to demonstrate the application of these processes and drill problems to give you practice in applying this knowledge.

Contact hours: 8 hours
