Christine Guernsey, ISA CAPP, introduces the new Diminution of Value Webinar Series, presented by ISA Private Client Services. Filmed in four parts, it explores the various aspects of preparing for and completing Diminution of Value damage appraisals.

When is it appropriate to use value-in-use or value-in-place? The terms can be confusing as they relate to internal relevant characteristics, or forces that effect value. Most appraisers will not have many occasions to consider value-in-use or value-in-place. However, having a good understanding of the terms and their respective uses will make it more likely that you will recognize the need for them if the opportunity arises.

This article explains what kind of services a personal property appraiser can offer their clients in their appraisal reports, and why it's important to work with a qualified appraiser to identify or authenticate your possessions.

Each year members of ISA are recognized for their accomplishments in service to ISA and the personal property appraising profession at the Assets awards luncheon. While this dedicated space and time will be missed this year, what will not be missed is the opportunity to recognize these deserving individuals and chapter. Please join ISA in thanking and congratulating our outstanding 2020 award recipients for their significant contributions and service to you and ISA.
