Take Advantage of the Appraisal Track at Convention 2006

MiCREA is excited to offer an appraisal track at this year’s Convention and Expo in Grand Rapids on September 25 – 27. This track was especially created to give appraiser members and real estate professionals seeking more knowledge an edge in the appraiser arena.

This year’s track will feature the following courses, Real Estate Appraisal and Mortgage Fraud, 2008 Appraiser Criteria and new draft and an appraisal law course.

Carole Bullion, owner and president of Classic Title Agency will teach the Real Estate Appraisal and Mortgage Fraud course. She has over 20 years of experience in the real estate/title insurance industry.

Rick Baumgardner will be presenting an overview of the Appraisal Qualifications Board’s new qualifications criteria, scheduled to take effect in 2008. The presentation will help you understand the new qualification criteria and identify how the new qualification criteria will affect appraisal business. You will also hear how to implement new qualification criteria, where applicable. Attendees will have a head start in planning and preparing for these changes.

If you have never attended an MAR Convention you qualify for a special discount that expires on September 8, 2006. Make sure to log onto the MAR Web site and register for the Convention today to ensure your spot at Michigan’s largest real estate event.
