  Description    
The technological advances of the last ten years have caused a significant change in the real estate appraisal profession. For example, today nearly all databases are computerized; it is imperative that appraisers can easily retrieve, list, and analyze large quantities of data. Participants must bring their laptops to this hands-on seminar where they will use Microsoft Excel to develop a spreadsheet skill set that includes the use of thousands of the program’s applications.

Additionally, residential appraisers are searching for diversified client bases. A more diversified client base requires diverse services and higher professionalism. The material presented in this seminar will help appraisers develop skills used to report statistical analysis and graphic illustrations to meet clients' needs.
