Please see the "Upcoming Classes" tab for class offerings and registration information.

Course Description

This multidiscipline course is designed to help both beginning and experienced appraisers improve their written appraisal reports. Topics address the difficulties of writing and how to overcome them, types of writing styles used in appraisal reports, critical thinking skills, argument analysis, logical fallacies and examples of good and poor writing.

Perhaps the most important part of appraisal writing takes place before ever setting fingers on the keyboard. This course is unique because it teaches experienced appraisers—as well as those starting out—critical thinking skills, logic and persuasive argument. You will learn to select the appropriate writing style, pare down your descriptions, identify and eliminate excess verbiage and support and drive home your opinion of value succinctly and effectively.

There is no available agenda for this course.
