Smart Risk Management for Appraisers

Tuesday, September 29   1 pm – 5 pm  (4 CE hrs)

PRESENTER: Peter Christensen of Christensen Law Firm

This seminar covers current liability trends affecting appraisers and dispels common myths and misunderstandings. The seminar concentrates on basic liability issues concerning lending assignments, and the best ways for appraisers to prevent claims and avoid liability. Real-world lawsuits and claims form the foundation of the course. Lessons are drawn from each case and specific suggestions for how to implement the lessons in daily appraisal work are discussed.  The primary learning objectives of the course are to provide practicing real estate appraisers with an ability to do the following:

  • Understand the key legal elements of a professional negligence claim and, based on that knowledge, identify the main liability risks in appraisal work.
  • Recognize the most common parties who file lawsuits against appraisers in relation to appraisals for lending.
  • Understand why and how the USPAP concepts of client/intended user and intended use relate to legal claims against appraisers.
  • Critically evaluate intended use and user language and develop intended use and user language that reduces liability risk.
  • Critically evaluate appraisal report forms for liability risks they may create.
  • Understand the most common problems in appraisals raised in claims.
  • How to make effective disclosures in appraisal reports.
  • Handle common liability threats and actual claims properly.
  • Understand the importance of the appraiser’s work file to liability prevention.
  • Know how the statute of limitations works for common claims against appraisers.
  • Spot and address key liability issues in new forms of appraisal work (“hybrid appraisals”).
  • Understand supervisor and trainee risk.
  • Understand how limited liability entities relate to individual professional liability.

An emphasis is placed on teaching students how to apply the lessons in their daily work.

 

Legal Issues for Non-Lending and Litigation Appraisal Assignments

Wednesday, September 30      2 pm – 5 pm  (3 CE hrs)

PRESENTER: Peter Christensen of Christensen Law Firm

Most discussion of appraiser liability focuses on lawsuits and claims relating to appraisals performed for mortgage lending. However, appraisal assignments for litigation and other non-lending purposes actually present a greater liability risk to the appraiser on a per assignment basis. This seminar addresses the specific liability risks and additional key legal issues associated with appraisals for litigation, divorce, estate, tax, conservation easements and other non-lending purposes. It also addresses liability considerations for review appraisers. Actual lawsuits against appraisers form the foundation of the seminar.

These are the kinds of questions that appraisers get answered in this seminar: Who sues appraisers serving as expert witnesses? Who sues appraisers performing appraisals for tax purposes? What’s the surest way for an appraiser to be sued for non-lending work? What’s the likelihood of being sued about a retrospective review appraisal? How does potential liability for a retrospective review compare with potential liability for a contemporaneous review? What are the statutes of limitation for claims? What special provisions should I consider putting in an engagement letter for different types of non-lending assignments?

The objectives of the seminar are to educate appraisers about:

  • The most common sources and causes of professional negligence lawsuits against appraisers in connection with non-lending appraisal assignments.
  • The unique liability risks imposed by certain non-lending work.
  • What appraisers can do to minimize liability risk for non-lending work (the emphasis is on better and clearer disclosure and using appropriate provisions in reports and engagement letters).
  • How to deal with common liability threat situations.
  • The role of professional liability insurance.

The Cost Approach: Unnecessary or Vital to a Healthy Practice? @ via ZOOM
Dec 3 @ 8:15 am – 4:30 pm

7 CE hrs 

Instructor: Craig Steinley, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS, AI-RRS

  • 8:15 am – 8:30 am: LOGIN & ROLL CALL
  • 8:30 am: CLASS INSTRUCTION BEGINS
  • 12:00 pm – 12:30 pm: LUNCH

How often have you have heard residential appraisers don’t need the cost approach to obtain credible assignment results? Participants in the secondary market often suggest this, and it’s even highlighted in the Fannie Mae Selling Guide that the cost approach is only required for the valuing manufactured homes. Unfortunately, not understanding the cost approach limits your ability to properly support adjustments in the sales comparison approach, understand trends in market conditions that are often driven by building costs, and recognize and quantify the forms of depreciation that can affect residential improvements. By better understanding the 8 important steps in the cost approach, you can rely on its indications whether you have little data, confusing data, or lots of data. Presentations and case studies will help you better understand the key connection between proficiency with the cost approach and your ability to support your adjustments in the sales comparison approach. This much needed seminar will show you that the cost approach truly is relevant!

SEMINAR OBJECTIVES:

  • Estimate site value.
  • Estimate cost of improvements.
  • Estimate entrepreneurial incentive.
  • Estimate total cost of improvements.
  • Estimate depreciation in the structure.
  • Estimate depreciated cost.
  • Estimate contribution of site improvements.
  • Derive indicated value of the property.
