• Classify six types of value
• Illustrate the differences between various types of depreciation and how they affect property value

INSTRUCTOR: Debbie Mack

Debbie has been a Certified Residential Appraiser since 1990. She believes it’s the best job in the world for a person who has always been in Real Estate (brat- parents were Brokers) and who has a passion for home design. Appraisal requires an open mind for to each appraisal problem; a reasonableness about values; a clear understanding of the definition of “Market Value” which is what a buyer and seller create, NOT created by a Broker/or Appraiser. Using people skills with customers and clients, she helps them understand the appraisal process. There are many myths about appraising. She strives to provide an accurate, reasonable, well understood, and prompt appraisal to the client within 48 hrs. of the inspection date. As a professional instructor teaching “The Broker’s Guide to the Appraisal Process” for 4 hrs CE (CO), she hopes brokers learn more about the appraisal process. Though she has a busy appraisal practice, she enjoys building a bridge with brokers is vital to both professions.
