How to Review Appraisals - Commercial & Residential

As commercial bankers, it's essential to understand the collateral we rely on to secure loans, especially when it comes to more complex assets like equipment and real estate. This webinar provides a practical overview of appraisals for commercial equipment and real estate. We’ll discuss which types of appraisals to order, how to interpret key components, and what details matter most in underwriting decisions.
