Who Will Benefit
This seminar is a must for anyone involved in the appraisal/evaluation function at a bank, whether they are actively ordering/managing/reviewing appraisals, performing/ordering evaluations or involved in real estate lending risk management. Appraisal Dept. members, evaluators, compliance officers, risk managers, and underwriters need to know the rules and guidance. Lenders may want to attend so they too can understand the appraisal function and learn what product is needed, what level of review is required and what examiners are looking for when they review the appraisal and evaluation function.
