Description: Appraisers recognize that they have regulatory obligations but understanding which ones apply when doing federally related and real estate related lender work is challenging. A review of sanctions and disciplinary actions taken against appraisers by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers makes it clear that many details and nuances of the appraiser laws and regulations are being misunderstood. Common, unintentional errors impact both the reputations of individual appraisers as well as confidence in the competency and ethics of the appraisal profession. This seminar is designed to help you recognize and understand the laws and regulations most important to appraisers practicing in California

Description:
Given the possibility of declines in the value of CRE as a result of COVID-19, this seminar will address critical issues, often misunderstood even by experienced commercial appraisers, in valuing property in a declining market.
The seminar will be based on a hypothetical case study property, a multi-tenant office building. The primary focus of the case study is to value the property “as is” and “when stabilized”, using all three valuation approaches, based on the following circumstances:
- The property is 50% vacant in a market experiencing 20% vacancy, thus necessitating the proper measurement of a rent-up adjustment to be incorporated in all three approaches to value the property “as is”.
- The market is forecast to experience on-going, but temporary, external obsolescence based on a detailed fundamental market analysis, which will be demonstrated using current methodologies and also incorporated in valuations..
In addition, the case study property also incorporates two other issues that will need to be addressed in the valuations.
- One lease at the property was first negotiated when the market was much stronger. The rent for this lease was recently reduced and the term extended, in a so-called “blend and extend” renegotiation, but is still above market, therefore necessitating a “property rights adjustment”.
- Another lease includes an apparent higher than market rent due to substantial landlord provided concessions, therefore necessitating a measure of “effective rent” for purposes of forecasting the rent at the time of lease renewal.
All of these issues will be discussed and then analyzed entirely in Excel, although attendees do not need to be an Excel expert to benefit from the seminar.

Description: Business Practices and Ethics is an important course that provides information about standards and ethics requirements for valuers in general and, more specifically, for valuers who belong to the Appraisal Institute. Through discussion questions and examples, the class compares behavior and actions that illustrate violations of the Code of Professional Ethics, and participants learn how referrals can be made. Participants are also introduced to the Appraisal Institute Guide Notes to the Standards of Professional Practice and use these Guide Notes to resolve everyday appraisal practice problems. At the end of the course, they learn about common errors in appraisal reports and review reports, and they respond to questions about challenges that arise in appraisal practice such as requests for updates and requests to change or add intended users. These are common business practice issues that appraisers encounter in various assignments, including mortgage lending, litigation, and property tax appeal. Other real-life scenarios in the course illustrate less common business practice issues such as an appraiser’s obligation when illegal or criminal behavior is observed.
