Affiliate Instructor
The individual selected will be teaching the course: “Real Estate Appraisal”
in the autumn quarter of 2016. The course introduces students to the valuation process with a focus on income-producing properties. Initially, students examine real property interests, the economic foundations to value, and the market in which real property interests are traded. Next, students are exposed to the real estate appraisal process and valuation techniques and tools, including highest and best use analysis and the income, sales comparison, and cost approaches to value. The course highlights the function of appraisal within the broader real estate market and emphasizes the behavioral context in which property valuations are embedded.
Full Time Lecturer
