Welcome to Deadwood! Attend a 7-hour Continuing Education Day consisting of two 3.5-hour seminars.

You must attend both 3.5 hour seminars to receive any CE credit - 7-hours total credit

Ultimate Workfile: What, When, Why
This course will delve into the USPAP Record Keeping rule and breakdown each of the components that should be contained in an appraiser’s workfile. The instructor will also review USPAP’s FAQ while helping the student to analyze other situations where these guidelines would apply.

The student will learn how to create a checklist to ensure that each workfile is correctly assembled.
They will develop the ability to identify what to retain, when it needs to be retained and why each
component is needed in the workfile. They will gain a deeper comprehension of how to prevent
common record keeping mistakes. Students will examine real world examples of proper and
improper workfiles.

Rock-Solid Report Writing
At a time when the real estate market is busier than ever, how can appraisers ensure they are writing
reports that not only meet minimum requirements, but also convey their assignment results in the
most meaningful manner to receive fewer revision requests? In this 3.5-hour class, appraisers will
look beyond the forms to determine the components of understandable and compliant reports, so
they can answer their clients’ questions before they are even asked. Students will leave the class
with skills and materials to reinvent their reports.

This course will cover the practical daily practice and application of USPAP Standard 2. The student
will also gain a deeper comprehension of the differences between the two appraisal reporting
choices and where USPAP compliance is (and is not) found within the 1004 URAR form. Students are
helped to develop the skill of using a checklist and developing a complete workfile as well as
organizing their appraisal addendum. Considerable time will also be spent on writing skills and
abilities. The course will conclude with an application of appraisal best practices.
