This mandated class is required for license renewal. This interactive class will cover a range of topics and discuss how to ensure your appraisal methods meet USPAP and state and federal fair housing laws. We will discuss how unintentional bias can impact your valuation method and research without realizing it. We will discuss different types of bias and how to be aware of them. We will discuss the importance of cultural competency in your interaction with clients, homeowners, and realtors beyond the appraisers' technical expertise. We will have group discussions of case studies that bring the concepts into real life appraisal situations.
