This is an exciting new class offering from REAA. Longtime members Debbi Riggs, from the North Bay Chapter, and Brian Melsheimer, SRA, from the Sacramento Chapter, will discuss the use and requirements of retrospective appraisals. They will take an in-depth look at pre and post wildfire disaster appraising. Additionally, they will cover various types of other retrospective non-lending appraisals. They will highlight clients who may need an appraisal due to date of death, insurance settlement, estate valuations, and litigation support. Scope of work, methodology and process, data selection, and different report formats will also be discussed. Specific Extraordinary Assumption and Hypothetical Conditions case studies will be shared to demonstrate this unique process. If you are interested in expanding the non-lending client base of your valuation business, don’t miss this class!
