Want to understand ALL the information in an appraisal report? What are comp sales, adjustments, assumptions, and limiting conditions? What’s a Q4C5 property actually like?
Candy Cooke is a veteran Texas broker and appraiser. She’s fluent in both languages and will walk you through every page of an appraisal report and translate it for you. By the end of class, you’ll be able to decipher an appraisal report. You’ll understand what data appraisers gather, what factors affect value, how they report their findings, and who the appraiser really works for. Most of all, you’ll find out what it means if a property doesn’t appraise for the sales price — and what to do next.
