Course Description:

'' This one-lesson course examines "best practices" for adjustment support in appraisals, when applying the direct comparison approach. In recognition of the time and data constraints appraisers face, the course explores practical methods for supporting and substantiating adjustments -- advancing beyond the "guesstimates" that are all too common in the field. The course emphasizes a "hybrid technique" that combines aspects of both quantitative and qualitative adjustment methods, reaching conclusions that are both defensible and realistically attainable.
