SCCAI End of Year Mixer @ Highland Park Bowl
Dec 10 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

THERE IS NO CE FOR THIS EVENT – THIS IS A SOCIAL EVENT

As a celebration of the 2023 holiday season, the Southern California Chapter of the Appraisal Institute is hosting a year-end holiday mixer. This was definitely a year for books and now that the year is almost finished, we want to close out strong with a year-end holiday mixer. We wanted one more opportunity to show our appreciation for membership by offering a little year-end fun for all the hard work that our members put forth this year. This last mixer of the year will be hosted from 6 to 8 pm on Sunday 12/10/2023. Make sure to register as soon as possible because this is limited to the first 40 people. Because this event is limited, please only register if you plan on attending (I know this seems obvious but trust me). We look forward to seeing you there (or at least the first 40 of you). The link below contains details about the event location. Take care and Happy Holidays!

2024-2025 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course @ Costa Mesa, CA
Jan 26 all-day
This required 7-hour continuing education course, copyrighted by The Appraisal Foundation, focuses on USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers. The first part of the course addresses the changes to USPAP, which are effective January 1, 2024, and the second focuses on cases studies that challenge you how to apply USPAP to situations you encounter in your daily practice. The course will help you gain competency in USPAP, and it will help those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers gain competency as well.
In the past, the Advisory Opinions and Frequently Asked Questions, which were required materials for the course, were bundled with the USPAP publication. Now they are contained in a separate publication, USPAP Guidance and Reference Manual. This manual provides examples showing the applicability of standards in specific situations and offers advice from the ASB for resolving appraisal issues and problems. It also contains the Reference Index which is a highly useful tool that helps appraisers quickly find answers to USPAP-related questions. This new Guidance and Reference Manual is included with your course handbook. Please note, however, that USPAP 2024, which includes Standards 1-10 and is required for the course, must be purchased separately.

Valuation Overview of Accessory Dwelling Units
Feb 29 all-day
Accessory dwelling units (ADCs) are a growing trend across the U.S. They have been around for years and often not identified as ADUs because they were not part of the zoning. As more families are finding it necessary to accommodate young adults not quite able to afford their own place, they are staying home longer and a somewhat separate space like an ADU is a good solution. Many families are caring for aging family members and find an ADU is the best choice. As many municipalities began to see the growing need to address them in the zoning ordinance, they have now become a valuation challenge for appraisers. In some areas the zoning does not allow them even though homeowners are adding them on without identifying them as ADUs. (Non-conforming status is an appraiser nightmare) Like green homes, the data is not readily available or is limited at best. The secondary mortgage market has very tight guidelines for ADUs and that presents the biggest challenge for appraisers. This seminar will focus on overcoming data challenges and review short dilemmas that illustrate methods to solve the value problem.
Check out this preview as Sandy Adomatis, the seminar developer, and Dawn Molitor-Gennrich, one of the seminar reviewers, provide more information about this program!
