The appraisal industry is entering a new era of transparency.

Join guest speaker Tammy Heeber, Certified Residential Appraiser, Founder, Agents Advantage Real Estate Academy, as she breaks down the upcoming appraisal reporting changes and explains why they're a much bigger deal than simply updating forms.

One of the biggest changes? Appraisers will now be required to disclose additional market data—including comparable sales that were considered but not selected in the final valuation. This increased visibility means lenders will have more information than ever before, leading to additional scrutiny and questions about appraisal decisions.

During this informative session, you'll learn:

✔️ What is changing with the new appraisal reporting requirements
✔️ Why the additional data will have a significant impact on transactions
✔️ How comparable sales are selected—and why some are intentionally left out
✔️ What REALTORS® can do to provide better market information to appraisers
✔️ Best practices for creating a smoother appraisal process in today's evolving market

Whether you're representing buyers or sellers, understanding these changes will help you better prepare your clients, communicate with appraisers, and navigate transactions with greater confidence.
