Today marked another successful informational seminar for a local real estate office.  Woody spoke before approximately 20 agents at Nancy Chandler & Associates, at their Norfolk office. 

Woody gave a structured review of an appraisal form 1004, and ended with a very informative question and answer session.  We have done several of these in the past 2 years, and welcome the opportunity to help bridge the gap between the fields.  It really is important that agents understand why and how appraisers obtain and use market data.  It helps them be better prepared for the appraisers they encounter in their day to day business. 

Topics covered included: matched pair analysis, cost approach, differences in licensed appraisers and unlicensed assistants, and several other minor topics.  The agents at Nancy Chandler, with their Managing Broker Hope Roots, asked some very thoughtful questions, and all seem to be of the best professional caliber.  It was a great pleaseure to have been able to spend time with them, and we look  forward to continuing to work with them in the future.
