Appraiser in the courtroom
Wednesday, May 24, 2023 (8:00 AM to 12:00 PM)    4 CE Hours
Willmar - Location to be determined    Appraisal and Real Estate

Appraisal assignments are requested for a variety of intended uses. For residential appraisers the most common intended use is mortgage lending, and many (residential) appraisers decline appraisal requests for intended uses that may result in litigation. However, even a mortgage lending assignment may result in the need for an appraiser to become involved in the legal system, as a witness or as a defendant. Issues such buyer remorse, contamination, structural deficiencies, easements and bias have been referenced in allegations against appraisers. This course is designed to acquaint an appraiser with factors to consider when/if the appraiser is subpoenaed to appear in court.  This course has been approved by the Minnesota DOC for 4.0 hours of Appraiser and Real Estate CE.
