Review Case Studies - General

Description

In this course, you will put into practice the concepts in Review Theory-General. You will enhance your review skills by preparing two required review reports based on two case studies that present some of the issues reviewers face in review assignments. For each case study, you’ll develop opinions on the completeness, accuracy, adequacy, relevance, reasonableness, appropriateness, and credibility of another appraiser’s work and then communicate your opinions in a review report you design and draft yourself. By preparing written review reports based on the case studies, you’ll gain confidence in the application of review techniques. This course will benefit appraisers and other real estate professionals who regularly work with appraisals and reviews.
