Links can only be sent to those who have provided their Photo IDs in advance directly to lisa@norcal-ai.org. Registrants will want to check ALL of their email accounts as well as spam/junk folders for this important information; especially the email address listed in your Appraisal Institute “MyAccount” portal. Those working for government agencies or financial institutions often have firewalls that prohibit proper delivery; assistance from your internal IT Support Team may be needed.

The unique or insightful assignments presented provides all registrants with the opportunity to diversify and expand their appraisal practice. When we move away from lender work, it seems that all the calls now have a unique story. Together we will look at out-of-the ordinary interesting and unusual assignments that demonstrate how appraisers might address the appraisal challenges and formulate a scope of work to solve the problem.
Join us for an information packed 4-hours of relevant information for commercial appraisers and those with an interest in the trends and issues that affect commercial properties. It’s timely, topical, and convenient – this offering will be presented via ZOOM.
Just what are unique and special purpose properties?
Special Purpose Property: A property with a unique physical design, special construction materials, or a layout that particularly adapts its utility to the use for which it was built.
