Development of real estate evaluations and validating existing appraisals webinar


The Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines of December 2010 clearly outline use of evaluations for both new and subsequent transactions. Financial institutions, however, still struggle with evaluation content and developing a reasonable approach to validate existing valuations. Although it might be cost-effective to use a recent evaluation or validate an existing appraisal, you cannot risk having an inaccurate market value conclusion.

This informative presentation on Tuesday, March 27, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., will provide the tools and information to properly complete an internally prepared evaluation. It will provide insight on using previously prepared appraisals or evaluations for subsequent transactions and explain when a new appraisal should be ordered.

For those participating in this webinar, you can expect to learn about:

  • Evaluation content and supporting information
  • Three approaches to value: comparative, income, and cost
  • Use of tax assessment value and automated valuation models
  • Is a broker’s price opinion ever appropriate?
  • Appraisal exemptions
  • Documenting and determining validity of previously developed appraisals or evaluations
  • What is a subsequent transaction and when should a new appraisal be ordered?
  • Independence standards: should different people order, develop, and review evaluations or validations?

After participating in this webinar, attendees will receive: A sample validation worksheet; employee training log; and a quiz you can administer to measure staff learning and a separate answer key.
