It’s ALL Residential.

Building on the continued success of prior year Residential Symposiums, our in-the-know panelists will share meaningful tools and tips that attendees can use to prosper and grow their businesses in today’s ever-changing residential real estate environment.

Opening Keynote
Flawed by Design? A Critical Look at Appraisal Bias Research
Separating Fact from Narrative in the Debate Over Home-Appraiser Bias

Tobias Peter
Senior Fellow and Co-Director
American Enterprise Institute

 

Recent headlines and government reports have framed home-appraiser bias as systemic and widespread, but the underlying research often rests on weak assumptions and flawed methodologies. Tobias Peter, Senior Fellow and Codirector of the AEI Housing Center, will unpack the most cited studies and explain why courts are increasingly rejecting their claims. His keynote challenges the prevailing narrative and points toward more rigorous, data-driven ways to evaluate appraisal accuracy and fairness.

The Train Has Arrived: UAD 3.6 and the Future of Appraisal Technology
– Jeff Bradford, Founder and CEO, Bradford Technologies

The Art of Testifying: How to Succeed as an Expert Witness
