Insurable Value (again)

[Michael P Jacobs MAI]

I'm looking for continuing education or training for insurable value other than from MVS. I use the MVS enterprise version online but know I can do a bit better. Are there other training-providers out there besides Marshall & Swift? TIA!

You shouldn't be using MVS for insurance, it's the wrong cost basis.

You'll want to use Marshall & Swift/Boeckh's RCT (aka accucoverage.com) or BVS, same company but different division.
or 360-value fro Xactware, or e2Value.

You can ask a local insurance agent if there are any CE classes in your area.

In FL, Citizen's might be able to direct you to a class.

Citizens was no use. Yes, I was referring to the BVS application. Don't know where "enterprise" came from. Just to save me some time, are 360-value fro Xactware, or e2Value commercial/industrial costs? I seem to recall that some are residential primarily. Much thanks for the reply.

MSB has 2 programs for insurable values RCT for Residential and BVS for commercial/agricultural buildings.
360-Value and e2Value have residential and commercial under same interface.

What we use to use, and this was many years back, was the "Blue Book" for Residential cost guidance; my suggestion would be to contact a Local Insurance company OR Private Insurance Investigator in regards to any classes.
Its been over 40 years since I was involved in that industry, but remember the Blue Book as the go to guide for the report cost analysis.
Good Luck
