The Next Good, Better, Best Appraiser Workshop is May 16 & 17

Jane and I are now planning on holding our next Good, Better, Best Appraiser Workshop on May 16th and 17th in my shops in Old Town Alexandria, VA. The last time we held a May workshop we sold out, as we limit the number to 10 due to the size of the shops and because we want an open interactive learning environment with questions and answers and not a day full of slides and lectures.

The Good, Better, Best Appraiser workshop is gaining a reputation as a must attend premier workshop for appraisers.

The May 2008 workshop "sold out" early, and the October workshop was nearly at capacity. So if you are interested in attending I suggest you contact us soon. You can register here -www.appraiserworkshops.com.

What is being said about the Good, Better, Best Appraiser Workshop.

• "The best workshop I've attended"
• "Very hands on. Excellent info on material available to speed up the appraisal process"
• "Comprehensive in scope, you walk away with a lot of resource materials"
• "Greatly appreciated forms/websites/examples online"
• "Liked the hands on approach and inspecting items"
• "Jane & Todd are both excellent teachers"
• "The workbook will live on beyond the workshop"

This hands on workshop is instructed by Jane Brennom, ISA CAPP and ISA Core Course instructor and Todd Sigety, ISA CAPP and editor of the Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies.

The workshop was developed for both experienced and new appraisers. New appraisers gain confidence and experience. Seasoned appraisers can fine tune inspection skills and gain specific product knowledge for "qualified appraiser" competency.

The workshop is scheduled for SATURDAY, May 16th and SUNDAY, May 17th, 2009 IN BEAUTIFUL “OLD TOWN” ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA. The Workshop is limit to only 10, so register early to reserve your spot.

This two day “hands on” two session workshop teaches the Appraiser how to become proficient in:

Session One:

• Closing the Sale and Determining The Scope of Work
• Preparing Contracts and Obtaining Deposits
• Preparing for the On-Site Inspection
• Researching Using New Methods and Learning New Technological Techniques, Creating Bibliographies and Incorporating Printed Documents and Appraisals into New Reports
• Learning How to Deal With Client Challenges

Session Two:

• Simulate an Appraisal Inspection
• Learn Property Identification and Analysis Techniques
• Advance Product Knowledge and Advance Specialty Area Knowledge
  

We will also have a special round table discussion on the state of current markets and appraising in slow economy. We plan on moderating an in depth discussion between participants of the workshop on the appraising during a downturn, how to deal with the problems while taking advantage of the opportunities. It should be an interesting session.

Become a Competent and Qualified Appraiser accumulating status with the IRS, CPA's, Trust Officers, Insurance Companies, Financial Planners and Bankers.

You will be able to completely inspect and study the inventory of two antique shops packed full of period and quality revival furniture, decorative arts and fine arts. Click HERE for a photo album of the shops and recent inventory.

Receive sample contracts, forms, glossaries and documents which are used everyday by successful and experienced appraisers. You will be provided with a CD of all forms and they will also be included in your Course workbook. You will receive 16 Professional Development Credits and a Certificate of Completion.
