Education / Events

The Northern California Chapter is open for business! Our Chapter is comprised of appraisal professionals you know and trust. Education is the core service we provide, and we're in the process of adapting our education to virtual programs to meet Stay in Place (SIP) requirements.

We look forward to and will continue to provide the “live” high-quality education that the appraisal community has depended upon for nearly 100 years once these regulations are lifted and it is safe for everyone to gather in person again.

Dates, locations & instructors are subject to change.
Interested attendees are encouraged to register early as we reserve the right to cancel any program due to low attendance.
For information on the new AQB (Appraiser Qualifications Board) Requirements that went into effect on January 1, 2008 visit www.appraisalfoundation.org.

"Virtual" Seminar: Advanced Land Valuation: Sound Solutions to Perplexing Propblems - SOLD OUT

Jan
25

Location: It's Virtual! Learn Where it is Convenient and Comfortable

This January offering is now SOLD OUT. However, we have just opened registration for a second offering on Friday, February 26. Secure your spot before it too sells out!

Developer and Instructor: Gary DeWeese, MAI

By examining unusual and complex land valuation assignments, this seminar takes concepts covered in the Appraisal Institute curriculum to the next level. In addition to lecture, discussion, and Q&A, sample case studies will demonstrate, primarily in Excel, conceptual and practical applications that participants will be able to incorporate into their day-to-day work. The seminar will suggest strategies for performing these assignments.

Utilize a land residual technique based on a DCF analysis to value land intended for two alternative competing uses (“for rental” apartments versus “for-sale” condos)
Determine the highest and best use of land when the legally permissible, physically possible, and financially feasible use(s) are very uncertain and cannot be determined using traditional methodologies
Determine land rent using a non-traditional unit of comparison (in this case land rental value based on average traffic volume)
Estimate the value of land subject to a long-term ground lease with multiple forms of financial benefits accruing to the land owner
Determine land value when its value is a function of a curvilinear relationship – in this case determining the value of land suitable for apartment development as a function of density (allowable units per acre)
