The Philadelphia Chapter of the American Society of Appraisers will sponsor a four-hour Pennsylvania Appraisers/Assessors Class on Adjusting Comparable Sales for Seller Concessions on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 from 9:00 am-2:00 pm at The Willow Inn, 210 North York Rd, Willow Grove, PA 19090 (Telephone: 215-659-9980). The instructor will be Robert J. Luciani, ASA.
The class covers the content of the Appraisal Foundation’s APB Valuation Advisory #2: “Adjusting Comparable Sales 
For Seller Concessions.” The Advisory provides guidance on generally accepted methods and techniques of seller concession. The course will define sales concessions and financing concessions, explain how to verify concessions and when to adjust for them, review the methodology for calculating concessions, discuss concessions for non-residential comparables and how to deal with them when using the Cost Approach or the Income Approach.
