Elimination of Bias and Developing Competency – with Real World Relevance
All California appraisers will need to take this class before they renew their licenses, but there is no reason to delay! The topics are important and timely – and also interesting. You will get up-to-date information from attorney Peter Christensen about what is happening in the courts and in administrative bodies relating to alleged discrimination in appraising from an attorney who is presently handling cases and investigations. You’ll learn key ways to work on eliminating bias and reduce your legal risk. You’ll also learn why “cultural competency” knowledge and skills are truly important for appraisers – you’ll see how a lack of cultural competency has led appraisers into legal quagmires.

Federal and California Laws and Regulations – with Real World Relevance
Taught by Peter Christensen – a California lawyer whose legal work is focused on valuation services, this course takes a fresh approach to BREA’s required course on federal and California laws and regulations. It offers real world situations and examples to illustrate the laws covered in the course – by, for example, discussing emails offered as evidence in a real case to show alleged violations of appraiser independence requirements. This course also covers important laws relevant to appraising that are missed in other courses – such as the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, RESPA prohibitions relating to appraisal fees, and fair housing laws, including California’s newly enacted appraisal protections.
