Appraisal Case Law I
|
This class is the same format as the very popular Appraisal Case Law I. New national civil cases and disciplinary cases from North Carolina and South Carolina are included to show important issues in the appraisal world today as well as to illustrate the real-world application of USPAP and appraisal methodology. As always, Mr. Black's classes are designed to provide knowledge that will be applied to the every day work of the appraiser. Appraisal Case Law II is a stand-alone course. It is not a continuation of Appraisal Case Law I and students do not need to take Appraisal Case Law I before taking Appraisal Case Law II.
(7 hours appraisal; 4 hours real estate) Appraisal Case Law I and II can be taken in any order and independently of each other.
The former Executive Director of the North Carolina Appraisal Board provides detailed coverage and an attorney's perspective of the North Carolina Appraisers Act and the Appraisal Board’s Administrative Rules. The course includes reasons behind the rules and laws, real-world illustrations, and useful guidance for daily appraisal practice. Will introduce proposed rule changes.

Changes--What would life be without them? The NC Appraisal Board has changed its rules 6 of the last 7 years, including 4 years in a row. In 2008 alone, there were roughly 35 new or changed rules. The NC General Assembly has changed the NC Appraisers Act in 2006, 2007, and 2008. The General Assembly has also passed multiple laws related to mortgages and lending, including a very strong Mortgage Fraud Act, that can directly affect appraisers. Congress has many pieces of legislation pending that relate to appraising, including The Fair Value and Independent Appraisal Act. The Home Valuation Code of Conduct is a new part of our world and the media seems focused on appraisers again. With all these changes, who has time to keep up when you need to spend time making a living? This class will cut to the chase by quickly summarizing the minor changes, discussing in detail the major areas, and giving students guidance on how to keep it between the ditches.
