The objective of this course is to familiarize the student with the principles, theories, duties and activities that pertain to real estate appraisal and valuation. Developing an opinion of value is what the real estate appraiser does, but, as we’ve alluded to, this is far from an effortless process. Understanding the obligation of the real estate industry to promote professionalism and ethical business practices is a beginning to being able to carry out this process such that it is beneficial to licensees, consumers and the market in which they do business.
As well as touching upon general standards by which the value of property should be established, this course is broken down into separate lessons which cover:
- The Role of a Real Estate Appraiser
- Federal Legislation and National Agencies Governing the Industry
- An Overview of Basic Value Principles
- The Dynamics of the Real Estate Market
- Three Approaches to Appraisal
- The Appraisal Process
- Real Estate Appraisal Practice Exercises
Completing this course will leave the student with a good understanding of fundamental principles of appraisal, methods of real estate valuation, the various kinds of appraisal licensure and certification, the diverse types of appraisal, and what license or certificate is appropriate for given ones. In addition, the course examines the ways in which appraisal can affect both the larger economy and the availability of housing. The course concludes with real-world practice lessons in which students apply their new knowledge to examples and case studies.
