July Educational Event For Realtors – Appraisal’s 101 & Beyond

Appraisal’s 101 & Beyond

Does it often seem like appraisers seem to play by their own set of rules?  Do you find yourself periodically signing the appraiser blues?  Over the years we have seen all sorts of appraisal related issues cross our desks.  Things such as repairs, marketability issues, short appraisals, unique properties, lack of comps, large tracks of land, the list goes on and on.  During this lunch and learn event we are going to have the appraisers cornered and its YOUR opportunity to ask them questions!  We are bringing in a panel of local and experienced appraisers.  When you sign up for the event you will be asked to submit questions or topics you would like to see covered.  Jeremy Drobeck will be moderating the event and presenting the questions to the appraisers.   We will also have some time for open Q&A during the lunch and learn.  Its going to be fun, we are going to laugh, learn, and get some long needed answers!

Hot Topics We Will Cover

Here is a list of some of the things we will cover during the event:

  • FHA vs Conventional vs RD – what are the differences
  • Unique properties (berm homes, log homes, barndominium)
  • Condos
  • How to find comps?
  • Rural Properties
  • Required Repairs
  • Multifamily Homes
  • Low value
  • Things agents can do to help the appraiser
  • Communication

Come learn from one of the best!  Moderator Jeremy Drobeck joins forces with two local appraisers David Locey & Randy Anson to bring you this great event.

Jeremy Drobeck is in the top 1% of loan officers in Michigan.  He’s helped thousands of home buyers navigate their way to home and ownership.  As the market continues to shift we all have to adapt and find ways to do better.  Our educational series this year is dedicated to exactly that.  If you need help with anything between now and our next event don’t hesitate to reach out.    This is sure to be a great event.  Can’t wait to see you there!
