"I nearly lost my lunch" noted an
AIDC member after reading Kenneth Harney's article in the
Washington Post Saturday Real Estate section titled Despite
2009 restrictions, mortgage and appraisal fraud spiked
(click here
to read). "Appraisal" has shown
up in the news quite frequently over the last year, often in
an very unflattering light (See Members
Speak Out in the December 8 issue of AIDC's newsletter).
For appraisal insiders, the misinformation
often included in such articles really grates and because
of the perceived crediblity of the source, such articles often
spawn or perpetuate misperceptions among appraisal customers.
While it may require some effort and won't necessariy produce
a correction or retraction, responding to such articles as Linda
Braley did will improve the likelihood that the next article
will include fewer mis-statements.
Today's news organizations
also incorporate social media tools allowing readers to respond
immediately by commenting on articles (click here
to see comments on the Harney piece).
Ben Franklin's oft-quoted statement "We must all hang together,
or we will surely hang separately" rings as true today as it
did then. The more of us who take the time to tell our side
of the story, the more likely we will be heard. Don't just sit
there; complain loudly and often!

You use capitalization rates in nearly every commercial appraisal, yet do you still wrestle with developing a cap rate and then encounter criticism? If you need to improve your ability to select and defend cap rates, this seminar is for you.
Departing from an emphasis on theory and mathematics, Supporting Capitalization Rates focuses on practical ways to incorporate judgment and market experience into the rate selection process. You’ll learn to apply what you have learned about capitalization rates to real-world situations. In fact, the theme of this seminar is that a well-supported capitalization rate takes into account market activity, is tested for reasonableness, and demonstrates the appraiser’s consideration of the relevant factors that affect the property.
Working with case studies, you will develop well-supported, market-extracted capitalization rates reflecting specific economic and property characteristics. You’ll learn to identify the strengths, weaknesses, and data requirements of various methods to help you select the most appropriate method for any given appraisal problem.
