Still on the fence? Here is what a live course gives you that self-paced cannot.

Real-time conversation. When a case study raises a question, you ask it. When someone else in the room has a different approach, you hear it. That kind of learning stays with you.

Course Premiere: June 18, 2026 | 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST
Classroom: Santa Ana, CA | Synchronous online also available.
Enrollment closes June 18.

Most people don’t realize real estate valuation is a career—and yet it plays a critical role in nearly every corner of real estate.

Meet Jared Schweitzer, MAI, SRA. He’s been in the appraisal profession for nearly 25 years, joining the Appraisal Institute in 2002 and building a career he never originally planned.

He started right out of college with a finance degree after being hired by an appraiser willing to train someone from the ground up.

His advice for anyone considering the field: don’t be discouraged by how difficult it can be to get started—the long-term value of the career is worth it.

The new URAR doesn’t just change how you report value. It changes how you document the property.

The defects, damages, and deficiencies sections are more structured than before — and how you handle them has real implications for USPAP compliance, GSE acceptance, and the certifications you sign.

The Appraisal Institute is offering a 3-hour CE course on June 18 that covers all of it: Analyzing Defects, Damages, and Deficiencies in the New URAR. Practical case studies. Instructor Sean A. Sargeant, MAI, SRA.

Classroom: Santa Ana, CA | 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST

Synchronous online also available: 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST
