The only constant, is change.  Commercial real estate professionals and  appraisers know “change”, all too well.  With constant changes in financing, the economy, local and global markets, it can be increasingly difficult to keep up.  This one-day seminar is geared toward the commercial real estate appraiser.  A panel of “in-the-know” industry experts and practicing appraisers are happy to provide valuable insights and key information to help each other, and participants navigate through the current, uncharted real estate environment. Join us and understand where the market is and changes the market is expecting concerning your services.
