The shortage of experienced commercial appraisers is creating new challenges for financial institutions across the country. From limited panel capacity to increasing regulatory expectations, valuation leaders must adapt their strategies while continuing to manage risk effectively.
Join Suzy Gardner, former FDIC Examiner, on Thursday, March 26th, 3:00 - 4:00 pm ET, for a practical discussion on how institutions can navigate today’s appraisal environment.
This session will explore:
• Using less stick and more carrot when working with appraisers
• When to order alternative valuation products (when permitted)
• Shifting focus from typos to meaningful risk management
• How to build and strengthen your appraiser bench
• Maintaining professionalism and strong relationships in a constrained market
This conversation is designed specifically for Chief Appraisers, Valuation Leaders, and Risk Professionals at financial institutions.
