"Real World" Appraisal Series Returns to a la mode's Las Vegas Convention - April 12-14 2008!

Appraisal Scoop authors will be presenters at a la mode's 2008 Las Vegas convention!

This year, a la mode is offering more targeted, up to date training in three cities across the country. Appraisers want to stick to business right now, so their Regional Conventions will skip the dinners and cocktail receptions and focus more on the hard core training we want and need.

They're offering three all-new, solid tracks (marketing, management, formfilling), plus real-world courses taught by appraisers and industry experts who’ve developed effective strategies used in their own offices for things like going paperless or doing more in-depth market analysis.

Patrick Egger (Outside The Boxes series) and Brian Davis (Appraisal Scoop - Paperless Office) will be presenters at the first of three regional conventions, to be held April 12-14 in Las Vegas.  Their seminars will be part of what a la mode calls the “Real World” series.  This series of courses are taught by a la mode customers and are designed to show real life examples of how technology can make a difference in your office.

Real World: Going Paperless  (Brian Davis)  I'll be covering lots of free tools and services, available from the Internet, to assist you in creating a paperless environment.   The seminar shows how tools like FolderShare, MS OneNote, PaperPort and even DiVinci, XSites, and Tablet PCs can come into play with a paperless office. I'll be working LIVE to demonstrate a paperless workflow from receiving an assignment through creating an electronic workfile.

Real World: Networking and Security (Jeff Jones) This course teaches safe practices as it relates to computer, network and wireless security. Topics discussed include secure Internet access, spy/adware and virus protection as well as data backup solutions. And It’s all in laymen’s terms.

Real World: Housing Market Analysis (Patrick Egger) Learn how to gather data from the Internet and build a true housing market analysis addendum that demonstrates your expertise and further defines you as a leader in your market.

Real World:  Regression Analysis (David Braun)  If you’ve heard regression analysis isn’t appropriate for real estate, think again.  Learn to use all the great data you’ve been collecting for years to enhance your own reports, compete with AVM’s, and have a tool you can use daily in your business.
