In the evolving landscape, appraisers face a growing demand to substantiate their adjustments and provide transparent documentation. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of guidance on effectively incorporating this level of support into the appraisal report. Furthermore, the tools designed to assist appraisers in crafting more cohesive, credible, defensible, and meaningful reports have yet to receive the attention they deserve.

In this webinar, the Aloft team will unveil mathematically robust methods and techniques tailored for calculating market-based adjustments. We will help appraisers establish an adjustment framework to ensure no crucial adjustments are overlooked. Join us for an in-depth exploration of the mechanics behind sound adjustment practices, led by Heather Sullivan, Aloft's Head of Learning and Development.
