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.

NEW AI Seminar!!

This seminar is approved in many states, so perfect if you hold multiple licenses!

Fair Value, Market Value, Fair Market Value was developed because words can have more than one meaning. Even the simple term market value can have a different meaning to a real estate appraiser than it does to a business appraiser, an accountant, or an attorney. Among real estate appraisers, there can be differences of opinion as to the proper basis of a valuation for a property tax assessment, a condemnation action, or a financial report. The laws are not generally written by appraisers, and the various codes and case law can be inconsistent and hard to interpret. The USPAP standards require that an appraiser not only state the type and definition of value, but also “include any comments needed to clearly indicate to the intended users how the definition is being applied.”

The seminar relies heavily on examples and case studies to help you understand the diverse ways terms are used and think through how to address the differences when you confront them in an assignment.

This seminar is intended to help you understand different interpretations of key valuation concepts, so that you can effectively report how they have been applied in a particular assignment.
