The new URAR requires that support for adjustments be included directly in the appraisal report, so residential practitioners need to understand the expectations of the GSEs and underwriters around these topics.  Supporting Adjustments and Reporting the Sales Comparison Approach in the New URAR is a three-hour program that focuses on an effective manner of developing and supporting the sales comparison approach section of the new URAR. Case studies will represent real-world residential appraisal valuation problems and the multiple qualitative and quantitative ways that each of the major adjustments in a residential sales grid can be supported. Since the applicable and appropriate techniques for any specific adjustment usually produce some variation in the indicated contributory value, the art and science of reconciliation will also be emphasized through repeated application. The program will be valuable for residential appraisers to strengthen their proficiency in both the sales comparison approach and in supporting the adjustments used in the sales grid. The program will also be valuable for reviewers of residential reports.

This important course 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, you’ll identify behavior and actions that illustrate violations of the Code of Professional Ethics, and you’ll learn how referrals can be made. You’ll get an introduction to the Appraisal Institute Guide Notes to the Standards of Professional Practice and see how the Guide Notes can be used to resolve everyday appraisal practice problems. Finally, you’ll 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.  The content emphasizes:

• Business practices issues, such as how to respond to seemingly unreasonable requests, how to address client pressure, and how to approach a complex assignment
• Which standards apply to Appraisal Institute Designated Members, Candidates for Designation, and Associate Members, and when they apply
• The key principles of the Standards of Valuation Practice
