You Say Fracking, I Say Frac'ing: Let's Talk Valuation
Date: June 17, 2015
Duration: 2 hours

Whether you call it fracking, frac'ing, or something else, advances in petroleum exploration & production technology including hydraulic fracturing have awakened the potential of mineral interests that have been dormant for decades or centuries. The unlocking of this wealth has now made minerals a major economic issue where they were once an ignored afterthought.

Have you ever asked any of the following questions? If so, this webinar is for you!

"I'm a licensed real estate appraiser, not a geologist: What is my role in the valuation of mineral rights?"

"I'm a geologist, not a licensed appraiser: What is my role in the valuation of mineral rights?"

"What is the relationship between the work of the reservoir estimator and the real estate appraiser?"

"Does fee simple include mineral rights? What are my professional responsibilities with respect to mineral rights? What are my risks? What do I do about mineral rights? How do I find out about mineral rights?"

"I think I see an oil pump jack on the property next door. What does that mean to my appraisal? What are my professional responsibilities?"

"Does frac'ing cause earthquakes? What are my professional responsibilities as an appraiser if my subject property is near a drilling operation and my subject property has suffered earthquake damage?"

"There are 275,000 oil and gas wells in the State of Ohio alone. I notice pump jack on the property adjacent to my subject. What will the new FHA regulations require? What are my obligations? What if there is an oil and gas well and I can’t see it, then what?"

Presenters will:

• Provide an overview of hydraulic fracturing and discuss where is it happening.
• Address frac’ing and whether or not it can cause earthquakes.
• Discuss the differences among oil, gas and other materials.
• Explain how reservoir estimators evaluate producing acreage.
• Explain how reservoir estimators evaluate de-risked, non-producing acreage.
• Explain how reservoir estimators evaluate unproven acreage.

Right of Way – Three Case Studies with Two Approaches to Value
Date: October 22, 2014
Duration: 2 hours

What is the proper valuation method for right of way appraisals?

Appraisal Problem:  Renew fiber optic easement rent for next 10 years

CASE STUDY #3: High-demand area with level topography
Appraisal Problem:  Renew natural gas easement rent for next 10 years

Appraiser Liability: Using the AZ765 ANSI Measuring Standard
Date: March 27, 2013
Duration:2 hours

Any appraiser who measures residential dwellings can benefit from learning about this reliable and accepted standard that should reduce common measuring errors.

Using one standard can help reduce measuring errors caused by using different measuring methods and can also minimize litigation alleging measurement misrepresentations of the gross living area.

GSE Appraisal Policy Workshop
Date: April 24, 2017
Duration: 2 hours

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are leading agencies in the nation’s housing finance system, and as such, they continually undertake efforts to improve risk management activities, including in real estate appraisal. Recently, we have seen the agencies turn to appraisal information in developing quality assurance systems relating to collateral risk. These systems are now fully operational and fully integrated with mortgage loan seller operations. The agencies recently announced plans to waive appraisals in certain low risk loan situations, yet appraisals are still very much a part of the agencies’ plans moving forward.

The workshop will help professional appraisers understand the short and long term goals of the agencies relative to appraisals. Participants will hear the latest findings of quality assurance programs and better understand how appraisers can improve their performance. The agencies will also outline their respective appraisal waiver policies and help appraisers understand what steps they can take to continue providing value added services to end users and investors.

Impairment Testing: The When and How for Financial Reporting
Date: April 25, 2012
Duration: 2 hours

In booming times, an executive opinion of fair value might be all that one needs. In recessionary times, a third party appraiser is more desirable, as valuation is no longer a rule of thumb solution. There are definitions of fair value per the financial accounting standards board, but the actual methods of determining impairment vary by the standards of different accounting sources. This webinar recording will define impairment and present its use with fair value accounting and the methods that one may apply for determining fair value, including discounted cash flows.

The Impacts of Tax Reform on Real Estate and Appraisal
Date: December 18, 2017
Duration: 2 hours

When Congress makes changes to the U.S. tax law, it tends to significantly impact the real estate industry. Such is the case with the 115th Congress, which is considering a broad tax reform plan that includes changes to individual tax brackets and sizable changes to business tax arrangements. Proposed lower rates may result in more real estate investment in certain sectors, and any new plan will make tax planning more prominent and important in the coming years. For appraisers, some may actually benefit from the tax proposals from a business stand point, while other opportunities exist to offer value added services to tax planners.

Benchmarking Building Performance
Date: October 7, 2015
Duration: 2 hours

More homeowners, investors and tenants are turning their attention to building performance metrics: concrete, quantifiable ways to accurately measure and compare building performance across a wide range of characteristics. What started out in the green building world has now expanded to include conventional buildings of virtually every property type and size in nearly every corner of the country.

Those who own and/or occupy all types of real estate are looking beyond the simple up front cost and return on investment metrics and asking:

• How efficiently does my property use Energy, Water and Materials relative to its peers?
• What are the operational risks of a property that lags its peers?
• How healthy is this home for my family?
• Can a better work space make my employees more productive?
• Isn’t an energy-efficient home a better investment?

Property Taxation: Valuation and Consultation Services
Date: July 30, 2013
Duration: 2 hours 

This webinar addresses how appraisers fit under the umbrella of the property tax services industry. From preparing appraisal and appraisal review reports to providing information in a clear, objective and competent manner, appraisers can provide tremendous assistance to both the public and private sectors.

Although appraisers often prepare appraisal and appraisal review reports in assessment appeal environments, appraisers can also routinely provide other valuation and valuation-related services. Remaining an objective professional in providing credible property tax services requires the appraiser to maintain clear communications with clients about the services provided and the appraiser’s role in providing them.

In this webinar, participants will:

• Identify the role of the appraiser in providing property tax and related services while maintaining objectivity and competence
• Recognize the services that appraiser can provide beyond preparing appraisal and appraisal review reports, including:
  • assisting taxpayers in ascertaining the correctness of their assessment records
  • assisting municipalities in distinguishing real from personal property and the taxable status of property
  • assisting in dispute resolution conferences when disagreements arise between property owner’s belief and assessor
• Learn inherent nuances in preparing appraisal reports for property tax purposes versus other uses
• Identify intended users and “loading” the overall capitalization rate for respective property tax burdens

Engagement Letters
Date: November 20, 2018
Duration: 2 hours

Although neither the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice nor the Appraisal Institute Code of Professional Ethics requires the use of written engagement agreements, using a written agreement to set out the details of an assignment is a sound business practice.

In 2018, the Appraisal Institute updated its sample appraisal engagement materials for non-litigation work to serve as a resource for appraisers drafting their own engagement agreements. Having been updated to incorporate key lessons from the last real estate downturn and changes in standards, the sample engagement materials::

• Help appraisers portray an increased level of professionalism.
• Create more enforceable payment options.
• Provide leverage to appraisers in negotiating better terms of engagement.
• Introduce several key provisions that most appraisers do not have in their present agreements.
• Help appraisers reduce risk by including new provisions based on the latest caselaw concerning appraiser liability.

How appraisers are treated and classified under federal labor laws has become a hot legal topic for both appraisers and their employers. Numerous lawsuits have been filed against appraisal firms, lenders, AMCs and other employers, contending that appraisers are not exempt employees and therefore must be paid overtime and receive other protections. A number of these cases have resulted in significant judgments. Some appraisal firms attempt to avoid having to deal with such issues by classifying their appraisers as independent contractors — and many appraisers themselves prefer this arrangement. However, whether classification of an appraiser as a contractor is legally correct for an appraisal firm can be a thorny issue — for both the firm and the contractor appraiser. There are different tests for federal tax purposes, overtime, unemployment insurance, workers compensation and liability. The details of the tests also vary by state. Unfortunately, there is no single standard for determining whether an appraiser is an independent contractor, exempt, or non-exempt employee.

In this live webinar, classification of workers as employees or independent contractors under new California law AB5, a.k.a. "the gig worker law," along with recent litigation and other legislation on worker classification, will be reviewed and analyzed in the context of the appraisal field. Learn the law and enhance your legal understanding..

Golf Course Property Valuation
Date: May 7, 2014
Duration: 2 hours

Golf is a never ending challenge to reduce your handicap, and so is appraising.

The purpose of this webinar is to acquaint you with the caveats of golf course appraisal. For valuing golf courses, there is ample guiding experience in the industry, but each course has its own unique character. Condition varies widely and without the requisite knowledge of restoration costs, it is possible to have a wide variation in valuation. Rounds played in a golfing market depends greatly on competing courses, greens fees, and travel time for the widest market. Other compounding issues include restaurants or a destination location with an additional stay, and play attraction such as a casino or beach hotel. A solid base for the valuation process begins with appropriately reviewing comparables, rating green fees and projected rounds played, projecting expenses, understanding land valuation, and properly allocating depreciation.

In this webinar, you will:

• Understand the caveats of golf course appraisal
• Identify unique characteristics, conditions and compounding issues involved in the valuation of a golf course
• Evaluate distinguishing elements of quality and competition in order to substantiate support for the condition rating of your subject property
• Present a better appraisal through the proper analysis and presentation of salient information

One Step Further: Implementing Guide Note 12 - Analyzing Market Trends
Date: December 18, 2014
Duration: 2 hours

The guide note suggests that, beyond a single point-in-time value opinion, the appropriate scope of work for an assignment may require an appraiser to provide an opinion regarding the sustainability of the value. In that way, the appraisal becomes a more valuable tool in boom and bust periods, or even in more typical market cycles.

An appraiser with a solid understanding of real estate market cycles still can reasonably make predictions about the future direction of the market.

This webinar incldes the following topics:

• Market cycles and tools that appraisers can use to identify and report where in the cycle a market is on the valuation date.
• Concepts including entrepreneurial incentive, frictional vacancy, feasibility rent, equilibrium rent affordability analysis, fundamental market analysis and capital market analysis.
• Ways in which the tools can be used to add an additional dimension to appraisal work, without spending an inordinate amount of time.

Selling Into the Sun - Solar Research Report
Date: May 15, 2015
Duration: 2 hours

In this webinar, the authors of the new report, "Selling Into The Sun: Price Premium Analysis of a Multi-State Dataset of Solar Homes" will discuss the methodologies, data, results, and conclusions.

The study found that home buyers consistently have been willing to pay more for homes with host-owned solar photovoltaic (PV) systems - averaging about $4 per watt of PV installed - across various states, housing and PV markets, and home types. This equates to a premium of about $15,000 for a typical 3.6kW sized solar system.

The multi-institutional research team of scientists from Department of Energy National Laboratories, universities, and appraisers analyzed almost 22,000 sales of homes, almost 4,000 of which contained PV energy systems in eight states from 1999 to 2013—producing the most authoritative estimates to date of price premiums for U.S. homes with PV.

Click here to view the SEIA Solar Market Insight Report 2013 Q2.

This webinar will address a number of issues surrounding appraisals of residential properties with Solar PV Leases and Power Purchase Agreements. Residential appraisers may encounter leases and agreements and the information in this webinar will be invaluable in documenting the appraisal report.

Presenters will discuss how to:

• Identify lease terms of Solar Photovoltaic Systems and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)
• Identify potential appraisal challenges with the solar lease or PPA
• Identify the questions that still don’t have answers from the secondary mortgage market
• Recognize key issues on lease classification of the Solar Photovoltaic System - personal property or real property

Description of webinar:

Net Zero Energy (NZE) buildings – which use no more energy than they generate on site - have distinct design, construction and operating characteristics that extend beyond the obvious solar PV array. And since energy is the largest controllable operating expense in most buildings, the value implication is both obvious and material. Less obvious is how NZE buildings differ in design, construction and operation from conventional buildings, and how those differences affect the valuation process.

This webinar will:

• Present the basics of NZE buildings,
• Demonstrate how the unique design and features of these buildings affect value and,
• Investigate the specifics of cost and value impacts through the use of case studies drawn from the presenter's own work.
