Keynote
Location: Crescent City, Mezzanine Level
It speaks volumes that every single year, since our inception, we have had representation from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Veteran’s Administration and the Federal Housing Administration. These folks are the policy makers. When they speak, we listen. Every year they are most forthcoming about their initiatives. Those in attendance are the chosen ones who hear it here first. Be part of the growing group of appraisers “in the know” who attend our Valuation events.
Valuation Visionaries
Location: Crescent City, Mezzanine Level
There are never more than a handful of true visionaries in any market segment who can see the future. They own the future. They design the future. Goodness knows the appraisal space is due for something new. There isn’t anything in the appraisal space that isn’t vulnerable for change. Change is what makes everyone uncomfortable. To see the changes as they unfold will allow your appraisal practice to adjust and be part of the change component.
Regulatory Update
Location: Crescent City, Mezzanine Level
I don’t recall another time in history when legislative events were more prolific and more commanding than they are now. There is not a single culprit upon which we can place the blame for this economic meltdown. There are quite a few actors who have participated who have assisted in the current drama. Get a summary of legislative initiatives and forces that intend to make some changes. If there is one thing we do well it is to bring to you the voices who can share with you their knowledge and expertise.
Reengineering the Appraisal Process
Location: Crescent City, Mezzanine Level
This current economic environment has forced us to examine our processes, procedures and policies. There has been tremendous gap between what appraisers produce and what lenders need. Listen to the experts and get a peek into where we need to direct our focus to reshape the appraisal landscape. How are appraisal leaders, appraisers, federal agencies, regulators and vendors working together to identify solutions to restoring integrity in collateral valuation.
Re-engineering would be a less complex task if there were a single issue facing the appraisal profession. The issues are widespread and each is intertwined. An immediate reaction might be to tackle these problems one at a time. That might seem practical on the surface. However, given the depth and breadth of the housing market meltdown there is an urgency to resolve the current crisis as well as create a forward looking plan to repair our crippled industry. The profession has historically applied “band-aid” solutions to individual issues. The failure to examine the industry holistically has exacerbated the problems.
