Georgia Appraising the Oddball

This course is designed for those residential appraisers who want to expand their skill set to enable them to take on more difficult and complex assignments, and for those who want to learn new techniques for developing creative solutions to complex residential appraisal problems. It will give the student a thorough understanding of various techniques that can be used in appraising unique and difficult oddball properties. The course begins with an overview of the factors that make a property complex.

Unique physical characteristics, non-conformity and location can all contribute factors that make an appraisal assignment difficult with a high degree of complexity. Rapidly changing market conditions, lack of sales data and governmental restrictions also may add elements to an assignment that increase its complexity. Since no two complex properties may be the same, the course is designed to teach students a systematic approach to solving the appraisal problem rather than a cookie-cutter solution that can be applied to different property types. Various techniques will be introduced that go beyond the traditional approaches used by most residential appraisers. The students will apply some of the techniques learned to case studies that are designed to reinforce the learning experience.

Approved by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) of The Appraisal Foundation and the state of Georgia as course approval 41411.
