    Avoiding “Bad” Words: Residential and Commercial Perspectives in Appraisal Report Narrative Writing and Cultural Competency

    Video Coming Soon

    Appraisers use fact to develop opinions of value, and it is unfortunate, and potentially costly, when an appraiser’s choice of words in narrative sections of an appraisal report are misleading or misconstrued to the point that doubt is cast on the validity of the appraiser’s facts. However, appraisers can take a proactive approach in phrasing their reports to affirm the impartiality of their basis for value determinations and reduce related ROV requests.

    Ready to equip you with the tools to write stronger narrative passages in your reports, our panelists will discuss:

    • The impact of subjective language
    • Wording changes to reduce pushback and increase clarity
    • Handling subjective property characteristics
    • Connecting descriptions and supporting data
