The Appraisal Update You Cannot Afford to Miss Before It Hits Your Deals

Big changes are coming to the appraisal process at the end of the year and real estate professionals who are not prepared are going to find out about them in the worst possible way. In the middle of a transaction.

Kathy Sheehan at Canopy Mortgage is hosting a one-hour Zoom event through the Cherokee Association of Realtors specifically to make sure that does not happen to you.

What This Event Is and Who Is Speaking

This is a free educational session designed to lay out exactly what is changing with appraisals at the end of the year so that agents, lenders, and anyone involved in real estate transactions can prepare in advance rather than scramble when the changes hit live deals.

Scott Murphy, the Real Estate Appraiser Commissioner, will be joining Kathy for the event. This is not a general overview from someone who read about the changes. This is the commissioner himself explaining what is coming, what it means, and how it affects the transactions you are working on right now and the ones you will be working on when these changes take effect.

Why This Is Worth One Hour of Your Time

The appraisal form is undergoing its most significant overhaul in decades. The new requirements affect how properties are evaluated, how value is communicated, and what lenders can accept. Agents who do not understand the new framework will find themselves setting incorrect expectations with clients, misreading appraisal outcomes, and navigating conditions they did not see coming.

One hour of preparation now prevents a lot of frustration and failed transactions later.

How to Join

You can attend from home in your pajamas with your coffee. It is a Zoom event which means there is no commute and no reason not to be there. Registration is required so the link can be sent to you directly.
