Seminar: Extreme Appraising
Dec
2
Location: University of Phoenix, Oakland

Developer and Instructor: Gary DeWeese, MAI

Through the use of a case study with Excel based solutions, we will start by addressing complex issues, which are often misunderstood even by experienced appraisers, in valuing a property “as is”. The second half of the seminar will build on the case study information presented in morning.  Now, however, a market study further indicates that the market will not recover for a number of years, thus necessitating consideration of external obsolescence in the property’s valuation. Finally, the techniques to value the case study property “when stabilized” will be demonstrated.
