Behind the Case: Navigating Residential Appraisal Litigation Support Work
Steven Albert

Litigation support work can seem intimidating, but it’s often one of the most engaging and rewarding avenues in residential appraisal. In this session, experienced appraisers share real examples from their work supporting legal cases—those that went to trial and those that settled. They’ll discuss what makes this type of work unique, common challenges appraisers face, and practical strategies for overcoming them. Attendees will learn how to approach litigation assignments with confidence, communicate effectively with attorneys, and expand their practice into this specialized, in-demand area of appraisal.
