Bias in Appraisals
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Can you recognize when and how bias can appear in appraisals? Can you recognize your own bias? In this session, we’ll discuss the requirements under Fannie Mae and USPAP prohibiting bias from being a part of any appraisal. You'll come away from this session being able to:
- List the words and phrases that should never be used in an appraisal
- Understand how a property should be evaluated based on facts
- Identify shifts in the markets
This course satisfies the NAR Fair Housing requirement at 3 hours.
Presented by Melanie McLane. 3 hrs of LREAB CE #A0002.
Estimate, Adjust and Defend
2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.
This appraiser course teaches estimation, implementation, and defense of adjustments. Appraisers face scrutiny from various parties, especially in recent years, leading to value reconsiderations and challenges. Our aim is to generate credible reports adhering to USPAP and client guidelines, typically Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, ensuring high-quality, defensible appraisals.
Presented by Melanie McLane. 2 hrs of LREAB CE #A0001.
