The Hampton Roads Chapter of the Appraisal Institute Welcomes You!

This is registration for the in-person course that takes place at the Real Estate Information Network

• Check in begins at 8:30am
• Class runs from 8:45am – 4:15pm

• Instructor:  Craig Steinley, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS, AI-RRS

This required 7-hour continuing education course, copyrighted by The Appraisal Foundation, focuses on USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers. New case studies and tools are provided to help you learn how to better navigate USPAP in order to solve problems in your daily appraisal practice, and a USPAP Reference Manual is included with the course handbook. The topic of bias and appraisal practice will be covered using Advisory Opinion 16 showing how an appraiser can comply with USPAP as it relates to fair housing laws. The course will help you gain competency in USPAP, and it will help those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers gain competency as well.

NOTE: Appraisers must successfully complete the 7-Hour National USPAP Continuing Education Course every 2 years to meet the USPAP continuing education requirement.

Registration includes course materials (not the USPAP Manual from the Appraisal Foundation). When you register for the course the default is to download the course material.  If you want hardcopy you have to select that option; there will be an extra fee. This material is required for the course, but it is not the USPAP Manual, it is the student handbook for the class. You are required to have this material in class, hardcopy or downloaded on a computer.

This seminar is offered both in-person and on Zoom. Once you register for either in person or the virtual option, you cannot switch! For those attending in person, lunch is not included. There will be snacks for both breakfast and late afternoon.

Through discussion questions and examples, you’ll identify behavior and actions that illustrate violations of the Code of Professional Ethics, and you’ll learn how referrals can be made.
