Washington DC Metro Chapter Welcomes You!

The Washington DC Metro Chapter of the Appraisal Institute has been serving the area since 1939. The chapter brings national education to the local area, offering a variety of qualifying, continuing and advanced education each year. The chapter also provides annual real estate and legislative updates to ensure we stay on top of regional issues affecting their practice.

Chapter representatives monitor and react to relevant legislative and regulatory initiatives sponsored by elected officials in Richmond VA, Washington DC and Annapolis MD. These dedicated chapter volunteers work closely with the Appraisal Institute’s professional staff to ensure our response to those initiatives produces the best possible outcome for area appraisers.

Sometimes inconsistency in data, analysis, and reporting escapes even the most seasoned appraiser. This can have a major impact on the credibility of the value opinion in the appraisal report and on your credibility as an appraiser. This seminar focuses on significant inconsistencies that can affect categories like the definition of market value, market analysis and highest and best use, the three approaches, functional and external obsolescence, and reconciliation. Broad
discussions about the entire appraisal process, topics you may not have given much thought about recently, will be lively, intense, and eye-opening. Every residential appraiser will find this seminar beneficial. If you are a residential appraiser who wants to expand your practice to non-lender work or you are already doing non-lender work, this seminar will take your analytical abilities to the next level!
