Commercial Real Estate Appraisal Managers Forum

Those responsible for the real estate appraisal function and corresponding regulatory compliance will examine best practices in managing the valuation process, and converse with regulators on the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines.

Forum Overview

RMA’s Commercial Real Estate Appraisal Managers Forum is a peer-learning event that focuses on
structuring, organizing, and effectively managing the commercial real estate appraisal ordering
and review function in your bank. The forum gives chief appraisers and other credit professionals
who have the responsibility for ordering and reviewing commercial real estate appraisals the
opportunity to expand their knowledge on a variety of issues via structured presentations given by
a lead facilitator, guest speakers who are industry experts, and open round table discussions with
other attendees.

The presentations and discussions will cover topics related to having an independent appraisal
ordering and review process that complies with all regulatory expectations. You will benefit from
the problem solving techniques discussed by your peers, regardless of the size of your institution.
Expect to share information, ask questions, and exchange ideas to broaden your knowledge and
understanding of the issues discussed. The forum presents an excellent opportunity for you to meet
and discuss common challenges with your peers.

Who will benefit?

• Chief appraisers at financial institutions with up to $10 billion in assets.
• Managers of internal commercial real estate appraisal ordering and review functions.
• Managers of out-sourced commercial real estate appraisal functions.
• Staff in appraisal departments at institutions with more than $10 billion in assets.

You will discuss:

• Regulatory issues: Interagency Guidelines, FIRREA, FDICIA, FFIEC, USPAP, and others.
• How to have an effective appraisal management process.
• Scope-of-work development for appraiser engagement for a federally-related transaction.
• Cap rates and other economic dynamics in today’s markets.
• Appraisal review with a chief appraiser.
• Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines with a regulator.

Good RMA Team, great attitudes, very eager to help, conscientious. Thank you!

The best forum on appraisals I have attended.

The forum was very useful. The person from the FDIC was very helpful in giving the regulators' perspective.

The flash drive is a great idea.

I would love to come back each year.

Skilled speakers who were very knowledgeable. All took the time to answer questions during presentations.
