Quality Condition Adjusted Mean Methodology: A Comparative Valuation Tool for the Appraiser

This paper explores the process of using a quality/condition adjusted mean methodology (Q-CAMM) to determine value of a subject property. A quality/condition adjusted mean regulates comparable values based upon condition level and quality points, and arrives at a final value conclusion relative to the subject property’s intrinsic features and state of preservation. Q-CAMM continues to rely upon the personal opinion and experience of the appraiser while introducing additional mathematical components to basic statistical averaging.

Reconceiving Connoisseurship, by Carol Strone

Connoisseurship is a dead language and a dead art. Or so art theorists with disdain for aesthetic judgments would have us believe for some 40 years now. Indeed, connoisseurship has long languished — unfashionable and unpracticed — in academic circles and beyond. But still it matters for many people, and there are signs of a renaissance, even in the most unlikely realms of the art world. The time is ripe for reconceiving connoisseurship as relevant to furthering culture and seeing with maximum powers of observation that which humankind creates.

Thursday, October 15, 2009 Reporter: Brian Kathenes 0 Comments

You’re invited to a virtual appraisal birthday party!

Happy Birthday to Brian Kathenes and Leon Castner’s Award-winning, Landmark, Appraisal Educational Seminar. "USPAP - A Personal Property Perspective" is celebrating its 15th birthday.

And all personal property appraisers are invited to the birthday bash celebration.

It’s a free, “USPAP - A Personal Property Perspective” update, live, tele-seminar party with a Birthday Gift for everyone who attends.

“No, we’re not giving away new cars,” says NAC’s Managing Partner Brian Kathenes, “But we know all our appraiser guests will really like their special gift. It’s a party no appraiser should miss.”

The tele-seminar and virtual birthday party will be held on Wednesday, October 21st.
Appraisers can register to claim their free 'seat' at: www.USPAPBirthday.com

“We needed a way of celebrating National Appraisal Consultants’ 15 years of training and coaching personal property appraisers,” says NAC’s Senior Partner Leon Castner.

“We’re hoping to fill up all the phone lines and give our fellow appraisers powerful information that will help them get more high-paying appraisal business along with the latest USPAP updates.”

USPAP – A Personal Property Perspective was a live, on-site seminar designed, developed, and presented by National Appraisal Consultants exclusively for personal property appraisers. It was first presented 15 years ago by Brian Kathenes and Leon Castner, years before most personal property appraisal societies embraced the USPAP standard.

It ran for two years across the US. More than 250 appraisers completed the program and received professional development points and a special NAC certification.

All appraisers are invited to attend the tele-seminar celebration for free (they just pay for their normal long distance charges) but they must register at: www.USPAPBirthday.com
