Valuation Trends and Liability Traps: Staying Ahead in Today’s Market

This seminar equips appraisers with practical tools to navigate three critical areas of modern practice. The first part of the day, led by the State Demographer, explores key demographic trends-population shifts, aging, and employment patterns-and how they impact real estate markets and valuation assignments. After that, the topic shifts to focus on conservation easements, land use, and valuation challenges in Colorado's mountain and high-end residential markets. The afternoon wraps up with a risk management session covering appraiser negligence claims, case law, liability mitigation strategies, E&O insurance essentials, and best practices for report writing and workfile documentation.
