Fall Conference: Real Estate Symposium in South San Francisco - Fri, Oct 18th

[sordini]

Calling any California appraisers - we have our annual Fall Conference happening on Fri, October 18th in South San Francisco. This is put on by the Northern California chapter of the Appraisal Institute. A lot of people put a ton of volunteer work into putting this together and it's all about helping appraisers learn!

This would be really beneficial to any newbie or seasoned vet who wants to learn about a range of topics from AI to property assessment appeals to IRS requirements.

Common Questions:

• Is this all day? It runs from 8:30am-5pm so yes it is most of the day. But you get to hang out with really cool appraisers so all worth it.
• Does this cost money? Yes, it does. We unfortunately can't put on an entire conference, book a venue, lunch, etc. without it costing money. The early bird pricing through October 4th is $355/person. This seems expensive, but you can meet a ton of great people and build your network for more appraisals.
• Is this for profit? No, this is a non-profit through the Appraisal Institute's local NorCal chapter. It's a lot of hardworking people who are looking to provide value to the profession.
• Can I attend online? No, it's only in-person.
• Could I attend part for the day? Sure, but you will only get credit for the full day.
• I'm not an appraiser - would this be of value? Yes, there are some great sessions and you can pick and choose ones of interest. We have a lot of seasoned speakers who give out a range of advice for all types of people from investors to developers to professionals (or people who just want to learn)

For any questions, shoot me a note.
