 Student comments regarding Supporting Adjustments

Teresa Martin

 “I really enjoyed the all day class with Brad. He was very informative regarding adjustment techniques, and all the information provided was very helpful. The work book that was provided was great!!.I definitely will be taking more classes from Armbrust & Associates in the future.”

This is one of only a few courses available to appraisers that I believe to be truly worthwhile.  It is solid education in a topic that has otherwise all but disappeared from our profession.  I took your first offering in August and found it to be an excellent update to the  kind of training I got more than 40 years ago.  Though I routinely use it my  day to day practice found your methods and thoughts very enlightening.  I even heartily recommend it become  mandatory for licensing.  Let me say, I was astounded to see that a good part of the class that took your course was lost in what is supposed to be the most fundamental of requirements for competent appraisal work.  That is, competent support for major adjustments. 

When I returned home  after taking your class I asked my son, a properly trained CR appraiser, to change his schedule to take your class in Medford instead of another class he had already scheduled.  He did so, and afterward, called to confirm that your course is one of very few he's taken that he will highly recommend to his associates.  He said your presentation was easy for him to follow and the calculations you had the class do were helpful reinforcement for his day to day work.  Said his calculations matched your's in most cases.  My son has been an appraiser for about 5 years and currently works for the Deschutes County Assessor.  He handles numerous tax appeals and said your course will be most useful in his everyday work.  He said he has recommended all of Deschutes County's appraisers take your class.

 “Brad Armbrust is one of the best teachers for any appraiser and/or trainee.  No matter your education level or experience level all classes are informative, provide useable resources and are easy to apply in the office and out in the field.  I constantly find myself utilizing his class information throughout the process of appraising, and have found the guidance invaluable in my becoming a better and well rounded appraiser.”

 “This course is the first one I have had on the extraction of information from market data.  I enjoyed the course and would take it again down the road.   The instructor was humorous as well as a good lecturer.”

 Would you recommend this course? “Most definitely, this class was one of the most enjoyable & informative classes I’ve ever taken in 11 years of appraising.”

“This should be a mandatory class for all appraisers, pre-licensing.”
