A Geographical Information System (GIS) is a powerful tool that visualizes the geographic relationship between subject and comparable properties and those things that affect value. Some appraisal-related processes that can be executed with a GIS include: assisting with a market analysis assignment, assisting with evaluating the distance or drive time to suppliers and customers so that the most efficient location can be selected for a warehouse or plant, helping appraisers better understand a large piece of land by overlaying boundary lines over USGS maps and overlaying soil or flood data, and many other location-sensitive processes. Syllabus: Introduction Module 1: What is a Geographic Information System? Module 2: Aggregating Data to a Submarket Module 3: Using a Value Surface for Comp Selection and Adjustment Module 4: Retail Examples Module 5: Land Appraisal Module 6: Industrial Example: Extracting Location Adjustment Module 7: Consulting Review Learning Objectives: Identify the three different types of GIS implementations and know when to use each. Understand aggregating the data from individual properties to a submarket area. Identify potential uses for value surfaces. Distinguish between the functionality of the Site To Do Business (STDB) versus a full-featured GIS and recognize how STDB can support an appraiser using a full-featured GIS. Identify how a GIS can be used in the process of estimating a location adjustment     Disclaimer     Cancellation Policy If you are unable to complete a seminar once it begins, you may cancel out of the seminar before the official seminar end date.
