PRACTICAL HIGHEST & BEST USE
“One of the most practical and informative classes I’ve attended!”


A review appraiser, employed by a state-regulatory agency, commented in a USPAP class that “highest and best use is the most deficient section in many appraisal reports.” Whenever a market value opinion is developed, USPAP S.R. 2-2(a) requires the report to "summarize the support and rationale" for the highest and best use conclusion. This seminar is intended to enhance USPAP compliance for both residential and commercial appraisers. A well-organized handbook that is a replica of the PowerPoint is provided. This 80+ page handbook will lessen in-class writing and assist the appraiser back at the office.


- Review many basic concepts of H&B use
- Define key terms like “support” and “reasonably probable”
- Identify the four components of a proper H&B use conclusion
- Differentiate the four tests from the four conclusions
- Identifies the five (5) most likely buyer types
- Explore and develop supportable conclusions for nine atypical, real-world situations where H&B use was initially uncertain
- Detail practical procedures to help appraisers develop a proper H&B use conclusion for both typical and very atypical appraisal problems
- Clarify the four test of H&B use


Don't miss this practical 7-hour virtual seminar! It will strengthen the logic and support in every-day appraisal reports!
