Residential Applications: Using Technology to Measure and Support Assignment Results | Program Details


This seminar provides easy-to-use, highly efficient tools to supplement and enhance the traditional methods of adjustment and support through the use of technology. You will gain practical, hands-on, step-by-step training on how to use charts, graphs, spreadsheets, and pivot tables to support residential assignment results for market conditions; days on market, sales-to-list price ratio; adjustments for location, design, quality of construction, and other property amenities; market extraction for cost and depreciation estimates; and market extraction for market rent and gross rent multipliers.



"I created this pivot table in less than 10 minutes to prove a swimming pool adjustment. Supporting my adjustments are much easier now that I attended the Residential Applications seminar and learned to use Excel with data downloaded from the MLS."


-- Sandy Adomatis, SRA
