California Chapter Outlook 2024 Conference

The underlying theme of all sections are USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers. Discussion will focus on specific USPAP revisions and afford you the opportunity to apply this information through case studies and a review of frequently asked questions and responses of various USPAP topics. The material emphasizes the role of the appraiser, the appraiser's impartiality associated with this role, and helps clarify concepts such as scope of work and when USPAP applies. The special responsibilities of the appraiser with regard to impartiality are explored in detail.

In order for an Appraiser to see the appraisals through the eyes of a Reviewer, they first need to know what a Reviewer’s role and responsibilities are. The 1-day course will explain who appraisal reviewers are and what appraisal reviewers do. It will also explain why appraisal reviews are completed and what appraisal reviewers can and can’t do. It will explain an appraisal reviewer’s qualifications, the different types of appraisal reviews, discuss the common appraisal errors and what appraisers can do to avoid issues on appraisal reviews.
