The Valuation Professions
In recent years it has become evident that a demand
exists for quality prepared and delivered real estate appraisal
programs. Oakland University is excited to facilitate this area of
professional need. The primary mission of implementing real estate
appraisal programs at Oakland University is two-fold. The programs (1)
provide a basis that will significantly raise the qualitative bar of
real estate professionals, thereby simultaneously enhancing local
industry decision making, and (2) provide results-oriented skills that
will continue to shape the future of our real estate professionals.
Oakland University is proud to provide its own Real
Estate Appraisal Education Program
which includes the core 75 hours that the State of Michigan requires for
the first level of appraisal licensing, the Limited Real Estate
Appraiser License. These fundamental principles, procedures, and
standards of professional practice provide the individual with the
necessary tools to enter into the real estate appraisal field and/or
provide a structured thought process that can be used in any decision
making process involving property. Additional continuing education
programs are scheduled to maintain appraisal licensure and provide
appraisers with immediate professional deportment enhancing attributes.
The programs are designed to benefit individuals
interested in becoming appraisers or better understand what to expect
from appraisers in preparing supportable and defensible opinions of
value. It is highly recommended for those that use or rely on
appraisals, including assessors, developers, real estate brokers,
investors, portfolio managers, accountants, financial planners, property
tax agents, risk managers, arbitration neutrals, judges, and attorneys.
Oakland University’s programs are unique in two major
areas. First, our instructors are highly experienced senior
professionals with a tremendous background and learned insight into
local appraisal practices. Second, the delivery of the material is based
on how to think rather than what to think. This approach provides the
professional with a results-oriented and long-lasting approach to
learning the concepts and understanding its applications. It enables
professionals to adapt to a ever changing climate rather than merely
memorizing keystrokes on a calculator or keyboard.
