Review Theory - Residential

Course overview

Review Theory-Residential is the fundamental review course that all reviewers of residential appraisals and reviews should have in their educational background. It is a required course for individuals pursuing the Appraisal Institute Residential Review Designation (AI-RRS, Appraisal Institute Residential Review Specialist). At the core of this course is the review process. Participants explore the seven steps in the process as they apply to reviews of residential work, including, but not limited to, those subject to GSE requirements. To be a reviewer, an appraiser must learn how to develop opinions of completeness, accuracy, adequacy, relevance, and reasonableness relative to the work under review. These opinions must be refined through tests of reasonableness to develop reconciled opinions of appropriateness and credibility.
