This 3-hour virtual offering is sponsored by REAA Valley Chapter.
Smarter Appraising Starts With This Class: Hands-On AI Tools for 2026 & Beyond
“Remember when cell phones changed everything? AI is the next game-changing tool for appraisers.”
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer theoretical—it is already showing up in real estate data, lender tools, review processes, and valuation-related analysis. Residential appraisers are increasingly encountering AI-generated content and automated insights, whether they choose to use these tools or not. AI is not going away; its presence in the appraisal profession will only continue to expand.
Designed for real estate professionals at all experience levels, this class requires no technical background and emphasizes real-world application, professional judgment, and informed decision-making—helping appraisers remain credible, compliant, and prepared as technology continues to evolve around the profession.
Instructor(s): Chandra Mast, CGA, BCA

- Understand what AI is—and what it is not
- Identify how AI is currently being applied in real estate
- Use AI tools to assist with research, market analysis, and narrative development
