Every real estate valuation topic is taught...from basic definitions and concepts through advanced income capitalization and market analysis techniques.
Our easy-to-use search features allow you to search by a word or text string. Type "income capitalization"..... and links to 37 videos appear!
No! We offer many videos on brokerage issues (selling a home, marketing your property), title insurance issues (what is title insurance and how does it impact property valuation), tenant and landlord issues, what to consider when hiring an appraiser, how appraisers assist in litigation, real estate tax and assessment issues, and much more!
The lengths of our videos vary by topic. However, most videos dealing with valuation methodologies (example...how to measure depreciation) are presented in two versions: (1) "Teach Me": a step-by-step presentation; and, (2) "Remind Me": a quick overview of the procedures.
First, we provide information on nearly every special-purpose type (quarries, dairy farms, intermodal facilities, medical office buildings), assignment type (pipeline easements and damages, conservation easements, partial interests, feasibility studies, market research), and litigation issues (finding a qualified appraiser, what makes an appraiser competent, how to develop a scope of work agreement to protect you, how to prepare for trial, overview of expert testimony for litigation assignments), etc. Second, email us a topic or question and we will present a video for you addressing your specific situation!!
We offer numerous videos addressing appraisal reviews. Whether you are an appraiser developing a formal review opinion for compliance with USPAP, a client trying to "understand" the appraisal report and opinions, or an attorney looking for assistance on an expert's report dealing with advanced techniques and analysis, we have the answers for you. Search our list of video titles by "review" and you'll find your answer!
The videos are developed to supplement learning, provide general information for appraisers and users of appraisal serivces, and offer reviews for information that you might have covered in valuation courses...but you need a quick refresher.
Online modules allow you the opportunity to read material (teach yourself) and sit for an exam! Regardless of the module, topic, or content being covered, we have videos and practice problems developed to assist you with specific module material intended to prepare you for your exam.
Without question! Our material includes "overviews" of topics for quick refreshers.
Yes. If, for example, you are getting ready to take a course dealing with the cost approach and depreciation scares you, we have multiple videos to breakdown the process and explain every aspect of the depreciation models (age/life methods, market extraction method, the breakdown method) so the upcoming course will be a breeze!! Relax! No more anxiety during the week of the class as the exam approaches!
We are appraisal course instructors, and we feel your pain! Let us simply clarify the concepts for you (with examples and illustrations) so there is no more confusion.
Our report-writing expert will not only walk you through ways to be sure your reports comply with professional standards (USPAP), but will also show you some great ideas for enhancing your reports with the effective use of exhibits, tables, charts, etc.
Watch our videos dealing with Excel. We show you, step-by-step, how to simply add information into a table (worksheet) and after a few clicks here and there...a professional looking chart shows your data! You'll be an expert in graphs in no time at all!
You are not alone! Our resident "statistics expert" will walk you through the basics (terminology, concepts, an overview) and show you how to use some advanced features (in Excel and on your HP12c calculator) QUICKLY AND EASILY! Lastly, you will learn how to use charts and graphs to effectivly communicate the results of your work.
No! No! No!. Every "cap rate" for every property is affected by a number of elements that must be similar to your circumstances for the cap rate to be relevant to your assignment. Click here and let us explain in detail so you can stop making this mistake!
You are at the right place. From our "PRACTICE PROBLEMS" menu, pick a category (example...cost approach) and then pick a topic (example...estimating functional obsolescence) and multiple practice problems appear...developed to test you on the proper problem-solving process. Our solutions sheet explains each step in the process.
Not only will we show you --very simply -- what the DCF process is, but we will also provide you the tools to do your own "sensitivity analysis" so you can see the impact on the value conclusion by changing the variables. What the appraiser is NOT telling you is that even subtle changes to the inputs could have significant impacts to the concluision!
Our team will show you what type of inconsistencies and deficiencies the reviewer will focus on in the review process. We will teach you to "think like a reveiwer" before submitting your report.
Our team includes an attorney SPECIALIZING in this issue. While she will not be able to give "legal advice" for your specific circumstances, she will explain to you basic issues and how to get them resolved.
Our team includes an attorney SPECIALIZING in this issue. Let our expert explain to you the process, your rights, and how to prepare for what lies ahead. Can you get your own witnesses (independent reviewers) to use in your defense? Should you hire an attorney? We'll address all of the above...and much more!
Our team includes experienced attorneys and appraisers who will walk you through the litigation process and explain your next step. Do you need an attorney? Should you contact the original client? What about all of the confidential information in your file? What if you signed a NDA (non-disclosure agreement)? What if you are going to be on vacation when you are "ordered" to appear? Let us explain all of this to you!
Maybe nothing....maybe everything!!! The court has their own "rules" regarding admissibility of evidence and testimony. Let us explain.
