What does your<br \/>\nposition entail?<br \/>\nDavid Shum: I am the Managing Director<br \/>\nof a team of valuation professionals<br \/>\nresponsible for Alberta, Saskatchewan and<br \/>\nManitoba. While I continue to do appraisals<br \/>\nmyself, much of my job involves overseeing<br \/>\nstaff  and client relationships.<\/p>\n<p>CPV: What career path led you to this<br \/>\nposition?<br \/>\nDS: Prior to joining Cushman &#038; Wakefi eld<br \/>\nthis year, I spent the previous fi ve years in a<br \/>\nsimilar position with Colliers International.<br \/>\nMy actual roots in the appraisal profession go<br \/>\nback to 1988-89 when I worked as a summer<br \/>\nstudent with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).<br \/>\nThe appraisal career path started by chance<br \/>\nas I was the fi rst summer student to show<br \/>\nup for work one day and they sent me to<br \/>\nthe real estate valuation group. That stroke<br \/>\nof luck turned into three summers worth<br \/>\nof work archiving and reading reports. The<br \/>\nappraisers at CRA suggested that I take some<br \/>\nreal estate valuation courses to gain a better<br \/>\nunderstanding, which I did, and that process <\/p>\n<p>resulted in my obtaining a full-time position<br \/>\nin Client Services and then with the Real<br \/>\nEstate Valuation Group. I subsequently spent<br \/>\nover 15 years with the government as part of<br \/>\nan appraisal team responsible for full narrative<br \/>\nreports on everything from single-family<br \/>\ndwellings to large commercial and special<br \/>\nuse properties. To say there was incredible<br \/>\nvariety would be an understatement, and the<br \/>\nin-depth nature of the reports due to the tax<br \/>\ncomplexities made it ideal for honing one\u2019s<br \/>\nappraisal skills.<\/p>\n<p>CPV: At what point did you earn your<br \/>\ndesignation?<br \/>\nDS: I earned my AACI designation in 2001,<br \/>\nbut it was quite a long process. The courses<br \/>\nthat I originally took were Appraisal 100, 200<br \/>\nand 300, off ered by the Appraisal Institute<br \/>\nof Canada (AIC). That was prior to the<br \/>\neducational partnership that the AIC now<br \/>\nenjoys with the University of British Columbia.<br \/>\nBecause of the nature of the valuation work<br \/>\nI was doing at CRA, where additional time<br \/>\nis often required on complex, tax-related<br \/>\nappraisals, my applied experience was<br \/>\ndiffi  cult to quantify and earning educational <\/p>\n<p>credits was not as straightforward as it might<br \/>\notherwise have been. I eventually got there,<br \/>\nhowever, and it gave me a real appreciation<br \/>\nof what it takes and what it means to earn a<br \/>\nprofessional designation.   <\/p>\n<p>CPV: You obviously made a decision at some<br \/>\npoint in your career to become engaged<br \/>\nin volunteer activities. Why did you make<br \/>\nthat choice and in what capacities have you<br \/>\nvolunteered?<br \/>\nDS: As soon as I earned my designation in<br \/>\n2001, I decided to give back to the profession<br \/>\nas best I could. I had some excellent<br \/>\nmentors in my career and all of them had<br \/>\nrecommended volunteering as a worthwhile<br \/>\nendeavour. Beginning at the Calgary Chapter<br \/>\nlevel, followed by the provincial association<br \/>\nand then nationally with the AIC, I have<br \/>\nserved on committees, boards and executives,<br \/>\nultimately becoming AIC president. Much of<br \/>\nmy hands-on committee work has been in the<br \/>\narea of learning advisory. <\/p>\n<p>CPV: How would you sum up your<br \/>\nexperiences as a volunteer and what it has<br \/>\nmeant to you personally?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only do you get to meet and associate with a wide array of interesting<br \/>\npeople who you may not have crossed paths with otherwise, you also get to share <\/p>\n<p>other people\u2019s viewpoints and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada6<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>DS: Without question the experience has<br \/>\nbeen a net positive and one that I would<br \/>\nhighly recommend to all appraisers. Not<br \/>\nonly do you get to meet and associate<br \/>\nwith a wide array of interesting people<br \/>\nwho you may not have crossed paths with<br \/>\notherwise, you also get to share other<br \/>\npeople\u2019s viewpoints and experiences. It gives<br \/>\nyou a much broader perspective as to how<br \/>\nthings are done elsewhere and where you<br \/>\nwant your own career to lead. From a purely<br \/>\ncareer perspective, there is no question that<br \/>\nvolunteering enhances your professionalism<br \/>\nand your profi le. As an added bonus, I have<br \/>\nmet a lot of really good people and made many<br \/>\nlifelong friends. <\/p>\n<p>CPV: You are now president of the AIC.<br \/>\nWhat do you see as the biggest challenges<br \/>\nin the year ahead for you as an individual,<br \/>\nfor the AIC, and for appraisers in general?<br \/>\nDS: For me personally, the biggest challenge<br \/>\nwill be time management. With my growing<br \/>\nfamily, my job responsibilities at Cushman<br \/>\n&#038; Wakefi eld, and my duties as president<br \/>\nof AIC, there is no question that time will<br \/>\nbe a valuable commodity. That is where<br \/>\nI will have to force myself to only take on<br \/>\nresponsibilities I can handle and to be a<br \/>\nmuch better delegator. By delegating, I do<br \/>\nnot mean shirking my responsibilities, but<br \/>\ndelegating to be more effi  cient at getting<br \/>\nthings done.<\/p>\n<p>For the AIC, there are several challenges<br \/>\nahead. We are a member-driven organization,<br \/>\nso whatever aff ects our members aff ects the<br \/>\nInstitute as a whole. For example, our existing<br \/>\ninsurance program was being challenged in<br \/>\na variety of ways, not the least of which was<br \/>\nincreasing levies. The costs to members are<br \/>\nincreasing quite rapidly and the sustainability<br \/>\nof the program would be in question if no<br \/>\naction was taken. We needed to look at ways<br \/>\nto improve the model that would be better<br \/>\nfor our members now and in the future. As a<br \/>\nresult, we are currently investigating ways to<br \/>\nrestructure or retool our insurance program so<br \/>\nthat it is more cost eff ective and sustainable.<br \/>\nOn another front, we are in the midst of <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a wealth<br \/>\nof experience and <\/p>\n<p>knowledge out there;<br \/>\nthey (new appraisers)<\/p>\n<p>need to reach out,<br \/>\nask questions, and<br \/>\nget in touch with<br \/>\nthat experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada 7<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>redesigning our committee structures so<br \/>\nthat there is less duplication and more<br \/>\nefficiency in accomplishing the objectives<br \/>\nput forth by our Board of Directors. We<br \/>\nare looking at how our committees should<br \/>\nbe reconfigured and renamed as well as<br \/>\nwhat their objectives should be in keeping<br \/>\nwith our strategic plan. This process will<br \/>\ntake some time to work through, but<br \/>\nthe picture should be much clearer by<br \/>\nearly 2013. Finally, the Canada Not-for-<br \/>\nprofit Corporations Act has outlined new<br \/>\nregulations for non-profit organizations<br \/>\nsuch as the AIC that will have a direct affect<br \/>\non our bylaws. In order to ensure that our<br \/>\nbylaws are crafted accordingly, we need to<br \/>\nbegin the discussion process with everyone<br \/>\nwho has a vested interest in the profession.<br \/>\nThat means meeting and communicating<br \/>\nwith our provincial presidents, our<br \/>\nmembers, and our stakeholders, as we look<br \/>\nfor main areas of commonality that take<br \/>\nus five, 10, even 15 years down the road.<br \/>\nOur challenge for the year ahead is to get a<br \/>\ngood start on this process. <\/p>\n<p>As for challenges facing appraisers<br \/>\nin general, in my opinion, there are two<br \/>\nthat stand out above all else. First, the<br \/>\nmarketplace in which we work is changing<br \/>\nrapidly. For fee appraisers, the challenge is<br \/>\nto assess how that marketplace is changing<br \/>\nand what services it requires from valuation<br \/>\nprofessionals. Although it seems to be an<br \/>\never-moving target, individual appraisers<br \/>\nmust learn to adjust if they are to flourish.<br \/>\nFor non-fee appraisers, the challenge <\/p>\n<p>Executive CorNer continued<\/p>\n<p>seems to be finding ways to get the job done<br \/>\nefficiently and effectively while dealing with<br \/>\nsignificant budget cutbacks at all levels of<br \/>\ngovernment and institutions. <\/p>\n<p>The second major challenge is what I refer<br \/>\nto as a transition of experience. Real estate<br \/>\nvaluation is an experience profession. By<br \/>\nthat I mean, while education programs are<br \/>\nextremely important, nothing can substitute<br \/>\nfor on-the-job experience at dealing with<br \/>\nall types of appraisals and the unique<br \/>\ncharacteristics of each. That experience is<br \/>\nwhat makes our services so valuable to the<br \/>\nreal estate industry. In addition to having<br \/>\nan older demographic, as is the case with<br \/>\nmost professions, we also have an additional<br \/>\nchallenge facing us because of the downturn<br \/>\nin real estate during the 1980s. As the<br \/>\nmarketplace suff ered during those years,<br \/>\nthere was a seven- to 10-year gap when<br \/>\nnot many people entered the appraisal<br \/>\nprofession. That has resulted in a current day<br \/>\nexperience gap that is greater than it might<br \/>\notherwise be. As a result, whether appraisers<br \/>\nare thinking of retiring, looking to advance to<br \/>\nhigher positions, or wanting to expand their<br \/>\nbusinesses, they need to realize that sharing<br \/>\ntheir experience through mentoring and<br \/>\ntraining is absolutely critical to the future of<br \/>\nour profession.   <\/p>\n<p>CPV: A year from now, when you<br \/>\nreflect back on your term as president,<br \/>\nwhat do you hope will have been the<br \/>\nInstitute\u2019s biggest accomplishment in that<br \/>\ntime period?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we can also say that our marketing and communication eff orts<br \/>\nhave reached out to governments, clients and other organizations in order<br \/>\nto bring greater awareness of our profession and the value that we bring to <\/p>\n<p>the table, it will have been a good year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DS: As I outlined in an earlier question, we<br \/>\nhave made some solid progress with our<br \/>\ninsurance program and I am very proud of<br \/>\nthat. If we can also say that our marketing<br \/>\nand communication efforts have reached<br \/>\nout to governments, clients and other<br \/>\norganizations in order to bring greater<br \/>\nawareness of our profession and the value<br \/>\nthat we bring to the table, it will have been<br \/>\na good year.<\/p>\n<p>CPV: What advice would you give to new<br \/>\nmembers entering the profession and to<br \/>\nexisting members going forward?<br \/>\nDS: For new appraisers, I would stress that<br \/>\nthey need to genuinely reflect on what it<br \/>\nis that they want to do. They then have<br \/>\nto learn as much as they can about that<br \/>\naspect of the profession, and set about<br \/>\ndoing it. There is a wealth of experience<br \/>\nand knowledge out there; they need<br \/>\nto reach out, ask questions, and get in<br \/>\ntouch with that experience. I would also<br \/>\nsuggest that, for all the reasons I pointed<br \/>\nout earlier, getting involved as a volunteer<br \/>\nright from the outset of their careers is a<br \/>\nwise move. They will meet people, gain<br \/>\ndifferent perspectives and enhance their<br \/>\nown skill set. <\/p>\n<p>For veteran appraisers, my main piece<br \/>\nof advice is to share their experience, both<br \/>\nindividually and though volunteering on<br \/>\na larger scale. They will be better for it<br \/>\nthemselves, and they will be contributing<br \/>\nimmensely to the careers of others, to the<br \/>\nInstitute, and to the profession as a whole. <\/p>\n<p>canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada8<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>Experience In Motion flowserve.comBooth #3 in Exhibit HallWHAT\u2019S YOUR BUSINESS WORTH?<br \/>\nMaximizing the value of your business tomorrow starts with knowing what your<br \/>\nbusiness is worth today.

J\u2019ai fait mes premi\u00e8res armes dans<br \/>\nla profession d\u2019\u00e9valuateur en 1988-1989 alors<br \/>\nque j\u2019ai eu un emploi d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 comme \u00e9tudiant<br \/>\n\u00e0 l\u2019Agence du revenu du Canada (ARC). Mon<br \/>\ncheminement de carri\u00e8re a donc commenc\u00e9 par<br \/>\nhasard, puisque j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 le premier \u00e9tudiant \u00e0 me<br \/>\npr\u00e9senter au travail un jour et on a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de<br \/>\nm\u2019aff ecter au groupe d\u2019\u00e9valuation immobili\u00e8re.<br \/>\nCe coup de chance a r\u00e9sult\u00e9 en trois \u00e9t\u00e9 de<br \/>\ntravail d\u2019archivage et de lecture de rapports.

Par la<br \/>\nsuite, j\u2019ai pass\u00e9 plus de 15 ans au gouvernement<br \/>\nau sein d\u2019une \u00e9quipe d\u2019\u00e9valuateurs charg\u00e9e<br \/>\nde pr\u00e9parer des rapports narratifs sur tous les<br \/>\naspects de l\u2019immobilier, depuis les unifamiliales<br \/>\njusqu\u2019aux grands complexes commerciaux et<br \/>\n\u00e0 vocation sp\u00e9ciale.

Ce fut un emploi id\u00e9al pour d\u00e9velopper<br \/>\ndes comp\u00e9tences en \u00e9valuation.<\/p>\n<p>EIC : Quand avez-vous obtenu votre titre<br \/>\nprofessionnel?<br \/>\nDS : J\u2019ai obtenu le titre AACI en 2001, mais ce<br \/>\nfut un processus passablement long. Les cours<br \/>\nque j\u2019avais d\u2019abord suivis, \u00c9valuation 100, 200 et<br \/>\n300, \u00e9taient offerts par l\u2019Institut canadien des<br \/>\n\u00e9valuateurs (ICE).

J\u2019y suis quand m\u00eame<br \/>\narriv\u00e9, ce qui m\u2019a permis de vraiment appr\u00e9cier ce<br \/>\nqu\u2019il faut faire et ce que \u00e7a signifi e que d\u2019obtenir<br \/>\nun titre  professionnel.   <\/p>\n<p>EIC : Il est \u00e9vident que vous avez pris une<br \/>\nd\u00e9cision, \u00e0 un moment dans votre carri\u00e8re, de<br \/>\nvous engager \u00e0 faire du b\u00e9n\u00e9volat. Pourquoi<br \/>\navez-vous fait ce choix et \u00e0 quels titres vous<br \/>\n\u00eates-vous engag\u00e9 comme b\u00e9n\u00e9vole?<br \/>\nDS : D\u00e8s l\u2019obtention de mon titre en 2001, j\u2019ai<br \/>\nd\u00e9cid\u00e9 de remettre \u00e0 la profession le meilleur<br \/>\nde moi-m\u00eame. J\u2019avais eu d\u2019excellents mentors<br \/>\nau cours de ma carri\u00e8re et tous m\u2019avaient<br \/>\nrecommand\u00e9 le b\u00e9n\u00e9volat comme activit\u00e9<br \/>\nvalable. J\u2019ai donc commenc\u00e9 dans le chapitre<br \/>\nde Calgary, ensuite au niveau de l\u2019association<br \/>\nprovinciale avant de passer au niveau national<br \/>\nau sein de l\u2019ICE. J\u2019ai si\u00e9g\u00e9 sur des comit\u00e9s, des<br \/>\nconseils et ex\u00e9cutifs avant de devenir pr\u00e9sident<br \/>\nde l\u2019ICE. La majorit\u00e9 de mon travail pratique en<br \/>\ncomit\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 dans le domaine consultatif sur<br \/>\nl\u2019apprentissage.  <\/p>\n<p>EIC : Comment feriez-vous le bilan de vos<br \/>\nexp\u00e9riences comme b\u00e9n\u00e9vole et qu\u2019en avez-<br \/>\nvous retir\u00e9 personnellement\u00a0?<br \/>\nDS : Il ne fait aucun doute que l\u2019exp\u00e9rience a<br \/>\n\u00e9t\u00e9 positive.

Ce processus prendra du temps<br \/>\n\u00e0 mettre au point, mais nous devrions avoir<br \/>\nune vision plus claire d\u00e8s le d\u00e9but de  2013.<br \/>\nEnfi n, la Loi canadienne sur les organisations<br \/>\n\u00e0 but non lucratif a mis en place de nouveaux<br \/>\nr\u00e8glements pour les organisations \u00e0 but<br \/>\nnon lucratif comme l\u2019ICE qui auront des<br \/>\nr\u00e9percussions directes sur nos r\u00e8glements<br \/>\ninternes.

C\u2019est donc dire que nous<br \/>\ndevrons rencontrer et communiquer avec nos<br \/>\npr\u00e9sidents provinciaux, nos membres et nos<br \/>\nintervenants dans la recherche de solutions<br \/>\ndans les principaux domaines que nous avons<br \/>\nen commun d\u2019ici 5, 10 et m\u00eame 15 ans. Notre<br \/>\nd\u00e9fi  pour l\u2019ann\u00e9e qui vient consiste \u00e0 bien<br \/>\nentreprendre cette d\u00e9marche. <\/p>\n<p>En ce qui a trait aux d\u00e9fi s que doivent<br \/>\naff ronter les \u00e9valuateurs en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, selon<br \/>\nmoi, il y en a deux qui d\u00e9passent tous les<br \/>\nautres. Premi\u00e8rement, le march\u00e9 dans lequel<br \/>\nnous travaillons \u00e9volue tr\u00e8s rapidement. Pour<br \/>\nles \u00e9valuateurs \u00e0 honoraires, le d\u00e9fi  consiste<br \/>\n\u00e0 comprendre les tendances du march\u00e9 et<br \/>\nles services requis des professionnels de <\/p>\n<p>l\u2019\u00e9valuation. Bien qu\u2019il leur semble n\u00e9cessaire<br \/>\nde viser une cible sans cesse en mouvement,<br \/>\nles \u00e9valuateurs devront apprendre \u00e0 s\u2019adapter<br \/>\ns\u2019ils veulent r\u00e9ussir. Pour les \u00e9valuateurs<br \/>\nsalari\u00e9s, le d\u00e9fi  semble plut\u00f4t de faire le travail<br \/>\nde fa\u00e7on effi  cace et effi  ciente tout en faisant<br \/>\nface \u00e0 de fortes compressions budg\u00e9taires<br \/>\n\u00e0 tous les niveaux de gouvernements et<br \/>\nd\u2019institutions. <\/p>\n<p>Le deuxi\u00e8me grand d\u00e9fi  est ce que<br \/>\nj\u2019appelle la transition d\u2019exp\u00e9rience. L\u2019\u00e9valuation<br \/>\nimmobili\u00e8re est une profession fond\u00e9e sur<br \/>\nl\u2019exp\u00e9rience. Ce que je veux dire par l\u00e0 c\u2019est<br \/>\nque, bien que les programmes \u00e9ducatifs<br \/>\nsoient extr\u00eamement importants, il n\u2019y a pas<br \/>\nde substitut \u00e0 l\u2019exp\u00e9rience pratique acquise en<br \/>\ndevant traiter avec tous les types d\u2019\u00e9valuation<br \/>\net avec les caract\u00e9ristiques uniques \u00e0 chacun<br \/>\nde ces types.

The program was established at a time<br \/>\nwhen many members were unable to secure appropriate coverage<br \/>\n\u2013 and even those who could get insurance often found themselves<br \/>\nfacing premium rates that were unaff ordable.<\/p>\n<p>The program has served members \u2013 and the Institute \u2013 extremely<br \/>\nwell over the years. Members, and their clients, have benefi ted<br \/>\nfrom a program that provides comprehensive coverage and highly<br \/>\ncompetitive premium rates.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past several years, pressure on the program \u2013 both in<br \/>\nterms of the number and the cost of claims \u2013 has continued to rise.<br \/>\nIncreased costs have accordingly translated into higher premiums<br \/>\nfor all members. Rising costs and premiums underscore the need to<br \/>\nimplement changes in the structure of the program. <\/p>\n<p>In the fall 2011 and into 2012, AIC\u2019s Executive \u2013 including<br \/>\nMichael Mendela, David Shum, Dan Wilson, Scott Wilson, Grant Uba<br \/>\nand myself \u2013 met with members at affi  liate and chapter meetings<br \/>\nacross the country. The message from the membership was clear \u2013<br \/>\nmembers that have had no claims and present a lower \u2018risk\u2019 to the<br \/>\nprogram should pay lower premiums than those with claims or in a<br \/>\nhigher risk category.<\/p>\n<p>The Board of Directors has responded to this input and will be<br \/>\nimplementing the preliminary stages of a risk-based assessment<br \/>\nprogram for the 2013 renewal cycle. <\/p>\n<p>Replacing a \u2018one size fi ts all\u2019 rating structure is a complex process<br \/>\nand will require the engagement of our brokers, actuaries, consultants<br \/>\nand insurers.

Brewer noted that, in a recent letter<br \/>\nto one of Canada\u2019s major banks, the AIC indicated <\/p>\n<p>that the bank expects appraisers to take pictures<br \/>\nof the inside of private dwellings, for which tenant<br \/>\npermission is required.<\/p>\n<p>Brewer fl agged the letter\u2019s importance in<br \/>\nhis presentation on privacy law at the AIC 2012<br \/>\nnational conference. A member of AIC for nearly<br \/>\n40 years, Brewer has had experience appraising<br \/>\na wide range of property types. In his presenta-<\/p>\n<p>tion, he discussed the Personal Information Pro-<br \/>\ntection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)<br \/>\nand its impact on appraisers.<\/p>\n<p>The AIC\u2019s concern stems from PIPEDA Case<br \/>\n# 2006\u2013349. In this case, the tenant of an<br \/>\napartment building was at home when two<br \/>\ninsurance inspectors entered his apartment<br \/>\nand took photos of his rooms. Brewer said the<br \/>\nproperty management company had informed<br \/>\nthe tenant of the inspectors\u2019 visit, but did not<br \/>\nsay they would be taking pictures.<\/p>\n<p>The tenant thought this was a violation of<br \/>\nhis privacy and raised his concerns with the<br \/>\nOffi  ce of the Privacy Commissioner. The Com-<br \/>\nmissioner ruled that photographing a tenant\u2019s<br \/>\napartment constituted a collection of personal<br \/>\ninformation. Tenants must be told in advance<br \/>\nthat their units will be photographed, and their<br \/>\nconsent must be obtained.<\/p>\n<p>Appraisers often take pictures of properties<br \/>\nthey are appraising without asking permission,<br \/>\nsaid Brewer, but just because it is common<br \/>\npractice does not make it acceptable. To act in<br \/>\nconformity with PIPEDA, appraisers must have<br \/>\nthe consent of those living in the unit. <\/p>\n<p>Brewer said he believes the onus should be<br \/>\non banks and mortgage companies, and not on<br \/>\nappraisers, to get this consent prior to the appraisal.<br \/>\n\u201cThat is part of the application process that has<br \/>\nnothing to do with me,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m going out to<br \/>\ndo an appraisal. That is all I am hired to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brewer praised the AIC\u2019s efforts to shift<br \/>\nthe burden of obtaining consent away <\/p>\n<p>Privacy and the impact on appraisers<\/p>\n<p>Recap<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contentscanadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada18<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contentsclick here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>from appraisers. \u201cLet\u2019s give the AIC some<br \/>\nencouragement to keep going,\u201d said Brewer,<br \/>\nwho suggested that AIC members lobby their<br \/>\nnational representatives in support of this<br \/>\ninitiative.<\/p>\n<p>Given Royal Assent in the House of Commons<br \/>\non April 13, 2000, PIPEDA applies to organizations<br \/>\nthat collect and handle personal information while<br \/>\nengaging in commercial activities. Brewer said<br \/>\nPIPEDA\u2019s purpose is \u201cto ensure that no personal<br \/>\ninformation of the consumer is being collected,<br \/>\nused, or disclosed by various businesses without<br \/>\nthe informed consent of the individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPIPEDA will impact your business in every<br \/>\nway,\u201d said Brewer. \u201cIt is something that has<br \/>\nmore ramifi cations than most of us think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Personal information is \u201cinformation about<br \/>\nan identifi able individual that includes any fac-<br \/>\ntual or subjective information, recorded or not,<br \/>\nin any form.\u201d For example, it may include names,<br \/>\npersonal identifi cation numbers, income, and<br \/>\nblood type. It does not include information that<br \/>\nis already publicly available, such as that found<br \/>\non a business card or in the phone book.<\/p>\n<p>Brewer said any organization that collects<br \/>\npersonal information must establish an internal<br \/>\noffi  ce program or policy to manage it. Orga-<br \/>\nnizations should be open about their privacy<br \/>\npolicies and make them easily accessible to the<br \/>\npublic. Employees, associates, and affi  liates of<br \/>\nthe organization must understand the policy<br \/>\nand agree to comply with it.<\/p>\n<p>The organization must designate someone<br \/>\nresponsible for guarding the personal informa-<br \/>\ntion, and must implement systems to store it<br \/>\nsafely. It must keep track of who has access to<br \/>\nthe personal information in its system. It should<br \/>\nalso ensure that third-party users of this infor-<br \/>\nmation have taken the necessary precautions<br \/>\nto protect it, and it should state in its privacy<br \/>\npolicy that personal information that it collects<br \/>\ncould be accessed by third parties. <\/p>\n<p>When an organization no longer needs<br \/>\npersonal information, PIPEDA requires that the<br \/>\ninformation be erased or destroyed. \u201cI think<br \/>\nwe feel in our daily work that it is just normal<br \/>\ninformation,\u201d said Brewer, \u201cbut to somebody it<br \/>\nis private, so you\u2019ve got to be careful.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Brewer said his organization requires clients<br \/>\nto submit a form when requesting an appraisal.<br \/>\nThis form states that the company is collecting<br \/>\ninformation in accordance with the organiza-<br \/>\ntion\u2019s privacy policy statement. By submitting<br \/>\nthe request form, the client agrees implicitly to<br \/>\nthe collection of personal information.<\/p>\n<p>Failure to protect personal information can<br \/>\ndamage an organization\u2019s reputation, brand,<br \/>\nand business relationships. It can lead to<br \/>\ncharges of deceptive business practices, liability,<br \/>\nand regulatory sanctions. \u201cWe don\u2019t know the<br \/>\nfull extent of fi nes, damages, and whatever<br \/>\nelse might arise as a result of not being in full<br \/>\ncompliance with PIPEDA,\u201d said Brewer.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the business world is<br \/>\ncognizant of PIPEDA; however, \u201cIt is the users<br \/>\nand the consumers who do not have a full<br \/>\nunderstanding.\u201d Brewer said he hopes that it<br \/>\nwill eventually be acceptable for appraisers<br \/>\nto be more reluctant to release the personal<br \/>\ninformation they collect, and less willing to<br \/>\npass it on to lending institutions without proper<br \/>\nauthorization. <\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada 19<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.thepersonal.com\/aicanada<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe power of mentoring is that it creates<br \/>\na one-of-a-kind opportunity for collaboration, <\/p>\n<p>goal achievement and problem-solving.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Partnering<br \/>\nfor success: <\/p>\n<p> facilitating education in the workplace through mentoring<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 AMANDA STONE<\/p>\n<p> M<br \/>\nost mentoring relationships<br \/>\nfocus primarily on training of<br \/>\nmentees, but mentors benefi t<br \/>\nfrom training too. However, <\/p>\n<p>prospective mentors often lack the time for<br \/>\nmentoring training and they try to fi gure it out<br \/>\nas they go along.<\/p>\n<p>This can make the mentoring process<br \/>\nstressful and daunting, said Karen Luker, a<br \/>\nspeech-language pathologist and Executive<br \/>\nDirector of the Canadian Alliance of Audiology<br \/>\nand Speech-Language Pathology Regulators.<br \/>\nSpeaking at the Appraisal Institute of Canada <\/p>\n<p>(AIC)\u2019s 2012 national conference, Luker<br \/>\nprovided practical tips and tools to help<br \/>\nsession participants better manage mentoring<br \/>\nrelationships.<\/p>\n<p>Luker and the participants identifi ed several<br \/>\nways in which mentoring can be benefi cial for<br \/>\nmentors. Mentoring not only produces better<br \/>\nemployees and a sense of satisfaction, but it<br \/>\ncan also help mentors form allies and, in some<br \/>\ncases, can even alleviate the mentor\u2019s workload. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will often bring you some benefi ts as<br \/>\nwell in terms of your own stature within the<br \/>\ncompany,\u201d said Luker. \u201cYou can demonstrate <\/p>\n<p>your ability to collaborate, your ability to<br \/>\nsupervise. You are seen as someone who has<br \/>\nsome additional skills that other people may<br \/>\nnot have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luker said mentees are at diff erent stages<br \/>\nof learning and have diff erent learning<br \/>\nstyles. Some, particularly novice learners,<br \/>\nrequire more directive or active supervision,<br \/>\nwhile others are largely self-supervising and<br \/>\nbenefi t from more of a collaborative or peer<br \/>\nrelationship with their mentors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenge,\u201d said Luker, \u201cis to try to<br \/>\nidentify your learner when they fi rst come to <\/p>\n<p>Recap<\/p>\n<p>canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada20<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>instead of dwelling exclusively on positive<br \/>\nor negative points. \u201cThis really makes you<br \/>\nsit down and give some thought to all of the<br \/>\nareas and helps you to start balancing the<br \/>\nkind of feedback that you are going to give,\u201d<br \/>\nshe said.<\/p>\n<p>Luker suggested that mentor and mentee<br \/>\nshould each apply the strategy to a situation<br \/>\nand then compare notes. In this way, the tool<br \/>\nbecomes a means of encouraging dialogue.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat you are going to fi nd,\u201d she said, \u201cis<br \/>\nthat the mentee will often pull out a lot of the<br \/>\ncomments that you yourself will have noticed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018What? So What? Now What?\u2019 strategy<br \/>\nis quicker than the \u2018stop\/start\/continue\/think<br \/>\nabout\u2019 one. With it, the mentor addresses<br \/>\na professional situation by identifying what<br \/>\nhappened, why it matters, and what should<br \/>\nbe done in response.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to formative feedback,<br \/>\nappraisers must provide summative feedback <\/p>\n<p>when they do a fi nal evaluation of the<br \/>\nmentee. \u201cThat makes the relationship very<br \/>\ndiff erent from a mentorship relationship<br \/>\nthat you tend to hear of in the corporate<br \/>\nsector,\u201d said Luker.<\/p>\n<p>Luker identifi ed several pitfalls<br \/>\nassociated with summative assessments:<br \/>\n\u2022\t falling\tunder\tthe\thalo\teff\tect,\tin\twhich\tthe\t<\/p>\n<p>mentee is seen as doing no wrong;<br \/>\n\u2022\t being\ttoo\tlenient\tor\ttoo\tharsh\ton\tthe\t<\/p>\n<p>mentee;<br \/>\n\u2022\t assessing\tthe\tmentee\tas\taverage\tbecause\t<\/p>\n<p>this is easy and safe;<br \/>\n\u2022\t being\toverly\tinfl\tuenced\tby\tfi\trst\tor\tlast\t<\/p>\n<p>impressions;<br \/>\n\u2022\t being\tinfl\tuenced\tby\ta\tcomparison\tof\tthe\t<\/p>\n<p>mentee with someone else;<br \/>\n\u2022\t stereotyping\tthe\tmentee;\tand<br \/>\n\u2022\t allowing\tconfl\tict\tin\tthe\tmentorship\t<\/p>\n<p>relationship to unduly infl uence the fi nal<br \/>\nassessment. <\/p>\n<p>\u2013 JOHN C. CROSBY<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMentoring is a brain to pick,<br \/>\nan ear to listen, and a push in <\/p>\n<p>the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>you in terms of what stage they are at, and<br \/>\nto then identify which style of mentoring or<br \/>\nsupervision you are going to provide. That is<br \/>\nnot always easy to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The more time mentors invest in<br \/>\nplanning the mentorship relationship, the<br \/>\nmore successful it will be. To ensure that<br \/>\nnew mentees get off  on the right foot, they<br \/>\nshould be introduced to their colleagues and<br \/>\nthe organizational culture when they fi rst<br \/>\narrive. They should also be shown around<br \/>\nthe workplace and told everything they must<br \/>\nknow to get started.<\/p>\n<p>Right away, mentors should develop a<br \/>\nlearning contract with mentees. Luker said<br \/>\nthis involves more than just fi lling out a form:<br \/>\n\u201cSpend some time having a conversation.<br \/>\nYou want to get a sense of where your learner<br \/>\nthinks they might be.\u201d When developing the<br \/>\ncontract, mentor and mentee should decide<br \/>\nhow frequently they will meet and how<br \/>\nfeedback will be provided.<\/p>\n<p>Luker said both parties should also<br \/>\nestablish the boundaries of the mentoring<br \/>\nrelationship up front. \u201cThere are some limits<br \/>\nand it is okay to set those,\u201d she said. For<br \/>\nexample, one person may not want to receive<br \/>\ncalls or emails late at night. As well, a mentor<br \/>\ncan have multiple roles within an organization,<br \/>\nand the mentee may not have access to the<br \/>\nmentor in all of those roles. \u201cThis doesn\u2019t<br \/>\nbecome a buddying system,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mentors provide formative feedback to<br \/>\nmentees throughout the mentoring process<br \/>\nby commenting on the mentee\u2019s professional<br \/>\nknowledge, skills, and behaviour. Feedback<br \/>\non professional behaviour is generally more<br \/>\npersonal than feedback on knowledge and<br \/>\nskills and, as a result, is often more diffi  cult.<\/p>\n<p>To help mentors structure and simplify the<br \/>\nformative feedback process, Luker presented<br \/>\ntwo strategies. With the \u2018stop\/start\/continue\/<br \/>\nthink about\u2019 strategy, both mentor and mentee<br \/>\ncan learn from a professional situation by<br \/>\nwriting down things that the mentee should<br \/>\nstop doing, start doing, continue doing, and<br \/>\nrefl ect upon. <\/p>\n<p>Luker said this strategy can help the<br \/>\nmentor give more well-rounded feedback <\/p>\n<p>canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada 21<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contentsclick here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>introduction<br \/>\nThis article considers the practice of when and<br \/>\nwhere one would invoke the concept of Juris-<br \/>\ndictional Exception. In the fi eld of municipal<br \/>\nassessment, it is common practice that a qualifi ed<br \/>\nappraiser would invoke the Jurisdictional Excep-<br \/>\ntion rule. The following examples show how two<br \/>\nsimilarly qualifi ed appraisers would approach the<br \/>\nsame appraisal assignment from very diff erent<br \/>\nperspectives and reach diff erent fi nal conclusions. <\/p>\n<p>Although the legislation in various provinces<br \/>\ndiff ers, the same situations are likely to be<br \/>\nencountered. The following examples are based<br \/>\non the experience in the Province of Ontario.<br \/>\nThe examples used are hypothetical, but the<br \/>\nconcepts are valid. For the fee appraiser, we are<br \/>\nonly interested in the fi nal value conclusion. For<br \/>\nthe assessment appraiser, we are more interested<br \/>\nin what part or parts of the Canadian Uniform<br \/>\nStandards are disregarded and the reason why.<\/p>\n<p>3.6 Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice<\/p>\n<p>3.6.1 An assignment condition that voids the force of a part or parts of the Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP), when<br \/>\ncompliance would be contrary to law or public policy applicable to the assignment.<\/p>\n<p>3.6.2 Jurisdiction relates to the legal authority to legislate. Apply or interpret law at either the federal, provincial or local levels of government. It is misleading not<br \/>\nto identify the parts or parts disregarded and the legal authority justifying this action. In every case, it is ultimately the responsibility of the appraiser and<br \/>\nnot the client or other intended users, to determine whether the use of Jurisdictional Exception is appropriate. It is unethical for a member to complete an<br \/>\nassignment that a Reasonable Appraiser could not support.<\/p>\n<p>EXAMPLE #1\u2013 fArMLAnds<br \/>\nAssignment:<br \/>\nThe subject property is a market garden farm<br \/>\ncomprising a 200-acre parcel of vacant land that<br \/>\ngrows various vegetables such as tomatoes, squash,<br \/>\nonions and caulifl ower.

The appraiser <\/p>\n<p>also did considerable research into what types of<br \/>\nresidential use would be permitted.

The main structure on<br \/>\nthe subject property is a very large generation<br \/>\nbuilding containing some 80,000 square feet of<br \/>\nground floor area. The building is multi-storied,<br \/>\ncontaining a total usable floor area of 240,000<br \/>\nsquare feet. There are a number of periphery<br \/>\nbuildings that service the main generating facility. <\/p>\n<p>The property owner has been contacted to<br \/>\nsee if the property is for sale. Both the owner and<br \/>\nthe purchaser have requested an appraisal be<br \/>\ncompleted. The owner has contacted a reputable<br \/>\nappraisal firm and retained its services to com-<br \/>\nplete a narrative appraisal for the property. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the assessor is reviewing<br \/>\nthe assessment on the property, since it is also<br \/>\nbeing reassessed for the next four-year cycle. <\/p>\n<p>AAci appraiser #1<br \/>\n\u2013 value in exchange<br \/>\nAs a summary of the 85-page report, the<br \/>\nappraiser utilized the cost approach as the best<br \/>\napproach for appraising the subject property.<br \/>\nThere were no known sales of similar facilities to<br \/>\nrely on so the market comparison approach was<br \/>\nnot used. Due to the nature of the ownership, the<br \/>\nincome approach was not considered as being an<br \/>\napproach to value since no data was available. <\/p>\n<p>The appraiser relied mainly on cost manu-<br \/>\nals, but did utilize recent costs associated with<br \/>\nrefurbishing part of the plant. The appraiser also<br \/>\nrelied heavily on historical cost records within the<br \/>\ncompany. The appraiser\u2019s final value conclusion<br \/>\nwas $160,000,000.  <\/p>\n<p>AAci appraiser #2<br \/>\n\u2013 assessor \u2013 value in use<br \/>\nIn Ontario, the Assessment Act dictates how<br \/>\ncertain properties are to be valued.

The lands are appraised<br \/>\nas they would be by the fee appraiser, but the<br \/>\ngenerating building must be assessed using<br \/>\n$86.11 for each square metre of inside ground<br \/>\nfloor area. In order to do that the appraiser<br \/>\nmust invoke the jurisdictional exception rule by<br \/>\ndisregarding the highest and best use standard<br \/>\nof the uniform standards of appraisal practice.<br \/>\nThe appraiser also had to explain why the cost<br \/>\napproach was not followed as recommended<br \/>\nby the uniform standards. The following is how<br \/>\nthe property appraiser valued the property for<br \/>\nmunicipal tax purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The 500 acres were assessed utilizing sales of<br \/>\nrural industrial lands in the municipality. The 500<br \/>\nacres were valued at 150 acres @ $10,500 per<br \/>\nacre and the balance at a lower rate of $1,000 per<br \/>\nacre, for a total land assessment of $1,925,000.<\/p>\n<p>The main generating building was assessed<br \/>\nusing the equivalent of the $86.11 per square<br \/>\nmeter rate of $8.00 per square foot. The building<br \/>\nwas assessed at $640,000 (80,000 square feet x<br \/>\n$8.00 per square foot). The periphery buildings<br \/>\nand structures were assessed utilizing a cost<br \/>\nmanual and garnered a value of $4,865,000 after<br \/>\napplying depreciation. The total value for assess-<br \/>\nment purposes was $6,790,000. <\/p>\n<p>The resultant valuation between the two<br \/>\nappraisers is significant due to the Jurisdictional<br \/>\nException rule utilized by the assessment appraiser.<\/p>\n<p>summary<br \/>\nFor municipal tax purposes, the assessment<br \/>\nappraiser disregarded the highest and best use<br \/>\nof the property because the Assessment Act<br \/>\ndemands that the main generating building<br \/>\nbe valued at $8.00 per square foot. The taxing<br \/>\nappraiser also had to describe why the cost<br \/>\napproach was altered to conform to the rules<br \/>\nunder the Assessment Act. Both appraisers will<br \/>\nalso need to discuss why the income approach<br \/>\nand market comparison approach were not<br \/>\nutilized in their valuations.<\/p>\n<p>There are other examples of where the two<br \/>\nappraisers would differ in their approaches to valu-<br \/>\ning property. Some of them would be encountered<br \/>\nwhen appraising wind turbines, solar panel farms,<br \/>\ntransformer facilities and others.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the Jurisdictional Exception rule<br \/>\nis utilized in any appraisal assignment when<br \/>\nthere is government intervention to the practices<br \/>\nnormally utilized by appraisers following the<br \/>\nuniform standards of professional practice of the<br \/>\nAppraisal Institute of Canada.<\/p>\n<p>About thE Author<br \/>\nDavid Powell, AACI, is a licensed paralegal and<br \/>\nsenior assessment and tax consultant with MTE<br \/>\nParalegal Professional Corporation located in<br \/>\nHalton Hills, Ontario.

Has the price of the two-bedroom condo really<br \/>\nincreased by $100,000 since it was renovated?<\/p>\n<p>By confi rming property value and other property characteristics, appraisers<br \/>\nplay a critical role in loan adjudication. As Canada\u2019s national housing agency,<br \/>\nCanada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) is committed to working<br \/>\nwith the industry to combat mortgage fraud. The most eff ective way to reduce<br \/>\nfraud is for industry professionals to work cooperatively to stop mortgage fraud<br \/>\nbefore the mortgage is approved. <\/p>\n<p>When borrowers over-infl ate property values or misrepresent information about<br \/>\ntheir identity, income, employment, fi nancial situation and the property, they commit<br \/>\nmortgage fraud. Mortgage fraud is any false statement or omission made<br \/>\nwith the intention that it will be relied upon to obtain mortgage fi nancing on terms<br \/>\nthat would not have been granted had accurate information been provided. In order<br \/>\nto prevent fraud and misrepresentation, we must work together as an industry.<\/p>\n<p>Mortgage applications require information from a number of sources, includ-<br \/>\ning the vendor, buyer, realtor, mortgage broker, lender, appraiser, lawyer and<br \/>\ninsurer. As industry professionals, we need to be on the lookout for inconsisten-<br \/>\ncies, irregularities, unusual patterns or anything that appears out of the ordinary.<br \/>\nVigilance can go a long way towards identifying and preventing fraud. <\/p>\n<p>For example, is the employment information being reported diff erently in<br \/>\ndiff erent documents, such as bank statements, tax fi lings and mortgage applica-<br \/>\ntions? Is the borrower\u2019s credit bureau report and credit utilization consistent with<br \/>\nhis or her occupation and reported earnings? Is the value of the property being<br \/>\npurchased above the list price? Industry professionals should ask pointed questions<br \/>\nand obtain additional documentation when they notice inconsistencies or unusual<br \/>\ninformation. CMHC values the insight and expertise that appraisers bring to the<br \/>\ninitiation process through their experience in value assessment, knowledge of the<br \/>\nneighbourhood and understanding of market trends. <\/p>\n<p>Applications for CMHC Mortgage Loan Insurance suspected of misrepresen-<br \/>\ntation are carefully reviewed by regional teams of specially trained residential<br \/>\nunderwriters. CMHC\u2019s underwriters work with their fraud prevention counter-<br \/>\nparts in each of the lending institutions to verify documentation to ensure that<br \/>\nthe information being disclosed is accurate. <\/p>\n<p>It is important for industry professionals to report all cases of suspected<br \/>\nfraud to the appropriate authorities and to share information with industry<br \/>\npartners. When fraud occurs, CMHC has an aggressive recovery strategy that is<br \/>\nemployed in all mortgage fraud claims and includes civil action and\/o r criminal<br \/>\ncharges when warranted. This approach is focussed on discouraging fraudsters<br \/>\nfrom future attempts.<\/p>\n<p>As a leader in fraud prevention, CMHC off ers national fraud training and<br \/>\nawareness initiatives and helps lenders enhance their internal fraud man-<\/p>\n<p>agement programs and initiation procedures. CMHC has also funded and<br \/>\npublished fraud-related research.<\/p>\n<p>CMHC supports a variety of industry initiatives like Fraud Prevention<br \/>\nMonth, an annual education and awareness campaign organized in March<br \/>\nby a concerned group of private sector fi rms, consumer and volunteer<br \/>\ngroups, government agencies and law enforcement organizations who are<br \/>\ncommitted to fi ghting fraud. Through these types of initiatives, CMHC is<br \/>\nable to give homebuyers and homeowners, including newcomers to Canada,<br \/>\naccess to valuable information on how to protect themselves against mort-<br \/>\ngage fraud.

However, it soon became apparent that<br \/>\na thorough understanding of a self-governing<br \/>\nregulated profession was needed in order to<br \/>\nidentify direction for the association. This article is<br \/>\na result of this research. It is designed to provide<br \/>\nan understanding of self-governing regulated <\/p>\n<p>professions, to develop an appreciation for what<br \/>\nprofessional members have in their association,<br \/>\nand to provoke and stimulate meaningful thought<br \/>\nand dialogue on the current and future direction<br \/>\nof the SAAA. It is not a thorough exploration<br \/>\nof these topics, but a brief introduction to the<br \/>\nrelevant concepts and functions of self-governing<br \/>\nregulated professional organizations. <\/p>\n<p>The article begins with a brief history of<br \/>\nregulated professions and the primary purpose<br \/>\nof a regulated profession. The major stakeholders<br \/>\nand the essential aspects of a regulated profes-<br \/>\nsion are then identifi ed. The article also focuses<br \/>\non the importance of ethics and professional<br \/>\nconduct, continuing professional development,<br \/>\ndiscipline, and the competing roles of regulation<br \/>\nand advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>History of regulated professions<br \/>\nCanadian law, based on English law, adopted the<br \/>\nEnglish tradition of self-regulating professions.<br \/>\nAmong the fi rst to emerge were the military,<br \/>\nchurch, legal, civil service, and medical professions.<br \/>\nThese professions all refl ect a common trait of <\/p>\n<p>placing duty above self-interest. The civil service<br \/>\nrefl ects a unique dual role of duty to the government<br \/>\nand duty to the public. By the mid-nineteenth<br \/>\ncentury, the essential characteristics of self-<br \/>\nregulating professions were established as featuring:<br \/>\n\u2022\t a\tunique\tcombination\tof\tknowledge\tand\tskills,<br \/>\n\u2022\t a\tcommitment\tto\tduty\tabove\tself-interest\tor\t<\/p>\n<p>personal gain, and<br \/>\n\u2022\t independence\tfrom\texternal\tinterference\tin\t<\/p>\n<p>the aff airs of the profession (self-government)<br \/>\n(Reader 2002, 4).<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the nineteenth century, two addi-<br \/>\ntional factors began to overshadow these essential<br \/>\ncharacteristics: the prestige as a learned profession<br \/>\nand the market advantage of exclusive use of a<br \/>\nprofessional title and right to practice. These factors<br \/>\nsoon eclipsed knowledge, duty, and independence<br \/>\nas the defi ning characteristics of a self-regulating<br \/>\nprofession. Not surprisingly, at the beginning of the<br \/>\ntwentieth century, professions lobbying for self-<br \/>\nregulating status did so with mixed motives.<\/p>\n<p>This led to the eventual question: What is<br \/>\nthe true intent of self-regulation\u2014professional <\/p>\n<p>What does it<br \/>\nmean to be a<br \/>\nself-governing<br \/>\nregulated<br \/>\nprofession?<\/p>\n<p>By Robert Schultze, AAAS, AACI, CAE<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contentscanadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada26<\/p>\n<p>mailto:info@aicanada.ca<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contentsclick here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>benefi t or public protection? As the twentieth<br \/>\ncentury progressed, courts examined the statutes<br \/>\nof self-regulating professions and alternately<br \/>\nfocused on professional benefi ts and public protec-<br \/>\ntion as the rationale for granting self-regulated<br \/>\nstatus. In the late 1960s and 1970s, questions<br \/>\nwere raised as to whether the public interest and<br \/>\nrights of individuals were adequately protected in<br \/>\nthe self-governing model. A number of provinces<br \/>\ninvestigated various self-governing professional<br \/>\norganizations (McRuer 1968\u20131971, 1163). These<br \/>\nstudies generally affi  rmed the desirability of the<br \/>\nself-governing model, but recommended greater<br \/>\nemphasis on public accountability and protection<br \/>\nof individual rights (Casey 2005, 1-2). The courts<br \/>\nrecently concluded that the rationale for creating<br \/>\nself-regulating professions is protection of the<br \/>\npublic, as noted in the following comments of the<br \/>\nSupreme Court of Canada: <\/p>\n<p>It is diffi  cult to overstate the importance in<br \/>\nour society of the proper regulation of our learned<br \/>\nprofessions. (Rocket v. Royal College of Dental<br \/>\nSurgeons of Ontario 1990)<\/p>\n<p>Attributes of<br \/>\nself-governing professions<br \/>\nPrimary purpose<br \/>\nIn our society, certain professions and occupations<br \/>\nperform work activity of such a nature that if it is<br \/>\ncarried on in a negligent or fraudulent way, it can<br \/>\nbe dangerous to the public or contrary to the public<br \/>\ninterest. As a result, it has been the accepted practice<br \/>\nto regulate the activities of groups such as doctors<br \/>\nand nurses, engineers and lawyers, real estate and<br \/>\ninsurance brokers, carpenters and electricians. \u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Self-regulation is a privilege delegated to a pro-<br \/>\nfessional or occupational group by the Legislature<br \/>\nonly when it is clear that the public can best be<br \/>\nserved by regulating the profession or occupation.<br \/>\n(Provincial Secretary\u2019s Department 1990, 1)<\/p>\n<p>These quotes are taken from a document<br \/>\nprepared by Saskatchewan Justice that details the<br \/>\nreasoning and criteria for determining whether<br \/>\na profession or occupation should be granted<br \/>\nself-regulating status. Two key points are clear:<br \/>\n(1) self-regulation is granted in order to serve the<br \/>\npublic interest, and (2) self-regulation is a privilege.<\/p>\n<p>Saskatchewan Justice measures a group\u2019s<br \/>\nrequest for self-regulating status against two <\/p>\n<p>sets of criteria before granting such status: a<br \/>\nprimary set of 12 criteria that must be met and a<br \/>\nsecondary set of 10 criteria that are desirable but<br \/>\nnot fatal to a group\u2019s success if not satisfi ed. The<br \/>\nintroductory comments to this review contain the<br \/>\nfollowing statement: <\/p>\n<p>The overlying principle in such a review would<br \/>\nbe the primacy of the public interest over the<br \/>\ninterest of the membership.<\/p>\n<p>Further strengthening this view is the fi rst<br \/>\nrequirement in the primary criteria set:<br \/>\n1. Whether the group requesting self-regulation <\/p>\n<p>will serve to protect the public against incompe-<br \/>\ntence and misconduct that could aff ect the life,<br \/>\nhealth, welfare, safety or property of the public<br \/>\nand whether it is in the public interest that the<br \/>\ngroup be given self-regulation.<\/p>\n<p>The view of Saskatchewan Justice is echoed<br \/>\nin many other sources. Although the professional<br \/>\nbenefi ts are real and recognized, the primary<br \/>\npurpose of regulating professions is the protection<br \/>\nof the public. The Supreme Court of Canada in Pearl-<br \/>\nman v. Manitoba Law Society Judicial Committee<br \/>\n(1991) stated that \u201c\u2026the self-governing status of<br \/>\nthe professions \u2026 was created in the public interest.\u201d<br \/>\nIn Regulation of Professions in Canada, Casey states:<\/p>\n<p>The protection of the public is achieved in two<br \/>\nways. Firstly, the conduct of individual members<br \/>\nof the profession is regulated in order to ensure<br \/>\nthat the public is properly served. Secondly, it is<br \/>\nrecognized that it is a valid objective to protect the<br \/>\nprofession itself, because a vibrant, self-governing<br \/>\nprofession which has the public\u2019s interests at its<br \/>\nheart is itself in the best interests of the public.<br \/>\n(Casey 2005, 2-11) <\/p>\n<p>This opinion is recognized by other profes-<br \/>\nsional associations in Canada. For example,<br \/>\nconsider the following statements:<br \/>\nAlberta Land Surveyors\u2019 Association<br \/>\n\u2026it is obvious that the primary role of a profes-<br \/>\nsional body is to regulate the practice of the<br \/>\nprofession as a public service\u2026. The professional<br \/>\nassociation must be very careful to ensure that the<br \/>\npublic interest always remains paramount \u2026 in all<br \/>\nits various roles the professional association has on<br \/>\noverriding objective\u2014the public good. (Allred 2002)<\/p>\n<p>Alberta College of Social Workers<br \/>\nWhen a government makes a decision<br \/>\nto impose regulation on the practice of a<br \/>\nprofession, it does so in recognition of the<br \/>\nfact that the practitioners being regulated are<br \/>\nproviding a service that may involve some<br \/>\nrisk to the public\u2026. All RSWs [Registered<br \/>\nSocial Workers] in Canada are accountable<br \/>\nfor their practice to the public\u2026. It is the<br \/>\nrole of regulatory bodies to provide consumer<br \/>\nprotection\u2026. Social work regulatory bodies<br \/>\nare given a legislated mandate to protect that<br \/>\nvulnerable public. (MacDonald and Adachi n.d.)<\/p>\n<p>Saskatchewan Registered Nurses\u2019<br \/>\nAssociation (SRNA)<br \/>\nThe primary purpose of professional self-<br \/>\nregulation is protection of the public from<br \/>\nharm\u2026. Advocacy in the public interest is a<br \/>\ncore professional responsibility\u2026. The primary<br \/>\npurpose of the establishment of self-governing<br \/>\n(regulating) professions is the protection of the<br \/>\npublic. (SRNA Council 2004)<\/p>\n<p>Agricultural Institute of Canada<br \/>\nProfessions are regulated to ensure the public<br \/>\nis protected\u2026. Self-regulation is based on an<br \/>\noverarching duty to protecting [sic] the public\u2026.<br \/>\nStandards are essential for the regulatory bodies<br \/>\nto ensure they meet their obligation to protect the<br \/>\npublic. (Agricultural Institute of Canada 2005)<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Law Reform Commission of<br \/>\nSaskatchewan (2004) recently stated that: <\/p>\n<p>Self-governance is acceptable only if it serves<br \/>\nthe public interest.<\/p>\n<p>Stakeholders<br \/>\n[Professionals are] those who are willing to<br \/>\naccept the honour, status and other benefi ts of<br \/>\nthe designation [of professional] in exchange for<br \/>\nwhich they agree to place the welfare of those<br \/>\nwhom they serve foremost and to avoid any<br \/>\nconfl icting biases of confounding relationships.<br \/>\n(Doherty n.d.)<\/p>\n<p>Four groups have an interest in the ability of a<br \/>\nself-governing profession to fairly and eff ectively<br \/>\ngovern itself: the public, the profession, the<br \/>\nprofession\u2019s members, and the members\u2019 clients.<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada 27<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contentsclick here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>The public<br \/>\nAs noted, the Supreme Court of Canada has<br \/>\nconcluded that it is diffi  cult to overstate the<br \/>\nimportance to society of the proper regulation of<br \/>\nlearned professions (Casey 2005, 1-3). Protection<br \/>\nof the public interest is ensured by permitting<br \/>\nonly the qualifi ed and the competent to practice,<br \/>\nand by stipulating that these members conform<br \/>\nto appropriate standards of professional conduct.<br \/>\nThe public needs to feel confi dent that a profes-<br \/>\nsion\u2019s practitioners are capable and honest and<br \/>\nthat they have the ability to express complaints<br \/>\nshould they experience problems in their<br \/>\ninteraction with these practitioners. Finally, the<br \/>\npublic must be able to perceive that a profession<br \/>\nis governing its members, including qualifying<br \/>\nand disciplining, in a competent and reasoned<br \/>\nmanner. Saskatchewan Justice recommends<br \/>\nthat \u201cprofessional associations should consider<br \/>\nmeasures that would enhance public access and<br \/>\nunderstanding\u201d of self-regulating groups (Provin-<br \/>\ncial Secretary\u2019s Department 1990, 11).<\/p>\n<p>The profession<br \/>\nMembers of a profession have a vested interest in<br \/>\nthe proper functioning of their association. A pro-<br \/>\nfessional group can gain substantial benefi ts from<br \/>\nself-regulation, including professional prestige,<br \/>\ngreater autonomy to set entry requirements and<br \/>\nstandards of practice, fi nancial advantages, and<br \/>\npotentially greater access to government. These<br \/>\nbenefi ts must be protected. The inappropriate<br \/>\nacts of one member can have signifi cant negative<br \/>\neff ects on the entire membership and can dimin-<br \/>\nish the image of the profession as a whole. It is<br \/>\nin the profession\u2019s best interests that the incom-<br \/>\npetent and unethical be removed. Not only does<br \/>\nthe profession have a duty to ensure its proper<br \/>\noperation in the public interest, but it also must<br \/>\nensure that the public perceives this to be the<br \/>\ncase. If the profession is unable to properly self-<br \/>\ngovern, its self-regulating status can be removed.<br \/>\nIt is the responsibility of the profession\u2019s regulatory<br \/>\nbody to seek and make available adequate means<br \/>\nand opportunities \u201cto strengthen the profession<br \/>\nand its members to meet emerging challenges,<br \/>\nand to promote understanding and respect from<br \/>\ngovernment, business and the public at large.\u201d<br \/>\n(Wacker 1996, 6)<\/p>\n<p>Members of a profession<br \/>\nMembers of a profession may be subject to<br \/>\ndisciplinary actions for incompetent and unethical<br \/>\nbehaviour. This can lead to the loss of an indi-<br \/>\nvidual\u2019s profession, employment, and means of<br \/>\nfi nancial support, as well as his or her contributory<br \/>\nrole in society, sense of identity, and emotional<br \/>\nwellbeing. For these reasons and more, the proper<br \/>\nfunctioning of the self-governing process is of cru-<br \/>\ncial interest to a profession\u2019s individual members.<br \/>\nTo ensure the continued viability of the profession<br \/>\nand themselves, individual members \u201chave a<br \/>\nresponsibility to participate in the maintenance and<br \/>\ndevelopment of the profession to keep it strong<br \/>\nand healthy for the future.\u201d (Wacker 1996, 6\u20137)<\/p>\n<p>Clients<br \/>\nA professional provides services to clients. It is<br \/>\nthe professional\u2019s duty to protect the interests<br \/>\nof his or her clients. The best way to do this is to<br \/>\nstrictly adhere to the standards of professional<br \/>\npractice and ethical conduct established by the<br \/>\nindividual\u2019s self-regulating profession. The client<br \/>\nhas the right to expect that the professional will:<br \/>\n\u2022\t provide\tcomprehensive\tadvice\twith\trespect\tto\t<\/p>\n<p>all the options and strategies available to the<br \/>\nclient, and<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\t follow\tthe\tclient\u2019s\tinstructions\tonce\tthe\tclient<br \/>\nhas made a decision based on the profes-<br \/>\nsional\u2019s advice (Reader 2002, 16)<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the professional has a duty to<br \/>\nfollow the client\u2019s instructions providing they do<br \/>\nnot confl ict with the professional\u2019s overriding<br \/>\nresponsibility to protect the public interest.<\/p>\n<p>Essential aspects<br \/>\nof a regulated profession<br \/>\nThere are two essential aspects granted to self-<br \/>\ngoverning organizations: the authority to license and<br \/>\nthe ability to discipline licensees. As noted by Casey, <\/p>\n<p>The licensing power is essentially the authority<br \/>\nto decide who shall be permitted to earn their living<br \/>\nby the pursuit of a particular calling. This means<br \/>\nthat professional organizations act as gatekeepers to<br \/>\nthe professions in their assessment of the qualifi ca-<br \/>\ntions of prospective members. Once an individual<br \/>\nbecomes a member of a profession, the professional<br \/>\norganization has the power to regulate the conduct <\/p>\n<p>of the licensee by establishing rules of practice<br \/>\nand standards of conduct enforceable through the<br \/>\ndiscipline process. (Casey 2005, 1-1)<\/p>\n<p>The self-governing profession is charged<br \/>\nwith deciding who is qualifi ed to practice and<br \/>\nin what areas. The profession also sets the<br \/>\nstandards of technical competence and ethical<br \/>\nand professional conduct to be followed by<br \/>\nmembers. The McRuer Report (1968\u20131971,<br \/>\n1163) noted the public\u2019s \u201cvery real interest\u201d<br \/>\nconcerning the admission of candidates into a<br \/>\nprofession:<\/p>\n<p>Those professions or occupations that have<br \/>\nbeen granted self-governing status are charged<br \/>\nwith a responsibility not only to see that persons<br \/>\nlicensed are qualifi ed, but that all qualifi ed appli-<br \/>\ncants are licensed. The public has a genuine and<br \/>\nvery real interest in knowing that the members<br \/>\nof the self-governing bodies are properly trained<br \/>\nand have good ethical standards\u2026. That being<br \/>\nso, the responsible and experienced members of a<br \/>\nprofession or occupation on whom the power of<br \/>\nself-government is conferred should be in the best<br \/>\nposition to set the standards to be met and the<br \/>\nqualifi cations of anyone who aspires to enter the<br \/>\nprofession or occupation. (Casey 2005, 16-1)<\/p>\n<p>Taking the public\u2019s interest to heart and<br \/>\nconsidering that the paramount duty of a<br \/>\nself-governing profession is to protect the public<br \/>\ninterest, it is essential to ensure that admittance<br \/>\ninto a profession is guarded by strict standards<br \/>\nand that members, once admitted, are governed<br \/>\nby high standards of competence and conduct. A<br \/>\nprofession should set these standards at a level<br \/>\nsuffi  ciently high to ensure good service to the<br \/>\npublic and a broad range of technical and profes-<br \/>\nsional qualifi cations. <\/p>\n<p>These standards also should be periodically<br \/>\nreviewed to ensure the public interest is properly<br \/>\nserved with current skills, knowledge, and conduct.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the profession is charged with the<br \/>\nresponsibility of monitoring its members\u2019 adher-<br \/>\nence to these standards and to discipline those<br \/>\nwho demonstrate technical incompetence or<br \/>\nexhibit unprofessional conduct.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, a self-governing profession estab-<br \/>\nlished by the legislature is fully empowered to:<br \/>\n\u2022\t act\tin\tthe\tpublic\tinterest,<br \/>\n\u2022\t exercise\tdelegated\tlaw-making\tpowers\t(rules\t<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contentscanadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada28<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contentsclick here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>or bylaws enacted by the profession\u2019s governing<br \/>\nbody have similar status as public laws), and<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\t exercise\t\u201cpublic\tlaw\u201d\tpowers\tof\tenforcement<br \/>\nover its members (Reader 2002, 12).<\/p>\n<p>The specifi c mandate of a self-governing pro-<br \/>\nfession can include one or all of the following roles:<br \/>\n\u2022\t determining\tentrance\trequirements.<br \/>\n\u2022\t providing\ta\tsystem\tof\tregistration\tto\tdetermine\t<\/p>\n<p>required applicant qualifi cations,<br \/>\n\u2022\t licensing\tprofessional\tpractitioners,<br \/>\n\u2022\t establishing\tand\tmaintaining\tlevels\tof\t<\/p>\n<p>competency,<br \/>\n\u2022\t establishing\tand\tmaintaining\tcodes\tof\tconduct\t<\/p>\n<p>(ethics and standards),<br \/>\n\u2022\t receiving,\tinvestigating,\tand\tadjudicating\t<\/p>\n<p>complaints, and<br \/>\n\u2022\t administering\ta\tdisciplinary\tprocess\tto\tsanc-<\/p>\n<p>tion members who fail to maintain established<br \/>\nstandards and practices (Allred 2002, 6).<\/p>\n<p>Common terms<br \/>\nProfessional regulation uses the common terms<br \/>\nregistration, accreditation, certifi cation, and licensure. <\/p>\n<p>It is important to understand the defi nitions of<br \/>\nthese terms and their meaning and usage in<br \/>\nregulatory documents. Table 1 presents a tabular<br \/>\nsummary of these common terms.<\/p>\n<p>Summary<br \/>\nSelf-governing professions exhibit three essen-<br \/>\ntial characteristics: a unique combination of<br \/>\nknowledge and skills, a commitment to duty<br \/>\nabove self-interest or personal gain, and self-<br \/>\ngovernance free from external interference.<br \/>\nSelf-regulating status is a privilege granted to<br \/>\na profession in order to serve the public inter-<br \/>\nest and comprises two essential aspects: the<br \/>\nauthority to license and the ability to discipline<br \/>\nlicensees. As such, it is the role and responsibil-<br \/>\nity of the self-governing profession to ensure<br \/>\nthat admittance into the profession is guarded<br \/>\nby strict standards of qualifi cation and that<br \/>\nmembers, once admitted, are governed by high<br \/>\nstandards of competence and conduct. It is also<br \/>\nthe responsibility of the self-governing profession<br \/>\nto establish a program of continuing professional<br \/>\ndevelopment to ensure that members maintain a <\/p>\n<p>high level of technical competence and profes-<br \/>\nsional conduct. The responsibility then falls to<br \/>\neach member to continuously improve his or her<br \/>\nskills to remain profi cient in the profession.<\/p>\n<p>A key expectation of members of self-gov-<br \/>\nerning professions is that they accept legal and<br \/>\nethical responsibility for their work and hold the<br \/>\ninterest of the public and society as paramount.<br \/>\nIndividual members also have the responsibility<br \/>\nto participate in the maintenance and develop-<br \/>\nment of the profession to keep it strong and<br \/>\nhealthy for the future.

A good proportion of the emails and<br \/>\ncalls I receive are from members seeking advice<br \/>\non professional practice matters such as:<br \/>\n\u2022\t general\tenquiries,<br \/>\n\u2022\t interpretation\tor\tclarification\tof\tthe\tStandards,<br \/>\n\u2022\t assessing\ta\tclient\u2019s\trequest\tand\tensuring\t<\/p>\n<p>compliance with the Standards,<br \/>\n\u2022\t specialized\tappraisal\tissues,\tand<br \/>\n\u2022\t understanding\tand\tworking\tthrough\tthe\t<\/p>\n<p>complaint resolution process. <\/p>\n<p>Professional Practice Matters is a new<br \/>\nregular column of CPV magazine that will focus<br \/>\non key issues arising from day-to-day in the<br \/>\nareas of the complaint resolution process and<br \/>\ninsurance claims. Its purpose is to raise member<br \/>\nawareness on key professional practice matters,<br \/>\nto improve appraisal and business practices,<br \/>\nand to help avoid complaints and\/or insurance<br \/>\nclaims. <\/p>\n<p>The following have been the most common<br \/>\nenquiries since I took on this role in March 2012.      <\/p>\n<p>1. USPAP or CUSPAP, are you compliant?<br \/>\nThe AIC adheres to the Canadian Uniform<br \/>\nStandards of Professional Appraisal Practice<br \/>\n(CUSPAP), yet a common error in the appraisal<br \/>\nreports is the reference to the Uniform<br \/>\nStandards of Professional Appraisal Practice<br \/>\n(USPAP). In the event of complaint or a claim,<br \/>\nthe review will look to determine if the<br \/>\nappraiser has complied to the first ethical rule:  <\/p>\n<p>Ethics Standard Rule 4.2.1: It is unethical<br \/>\nfor a member to knowingly fail to comply<br \/>\nwith Bylaws, Regulations and Standards,<br \/>\nand the Professional Liability Insurance<br \/>\nProgram of the Institute.<\/p>\n<p>AIC members must first ensure that their<br \/>\nappraisal work is compliant with CUSPAP.<br \/>\nIf other standards also apply to a particular<br \/>\nappraisal assignment, then, generally, the<br \/>\nhigher standard prevails. If an appraisal<br \/>\nassignment is subject to more than CUSPAP, the<br \/>\nmember must ensure that it complies first with<br \/>\nAIC\u2019s Standards, then to all other applicable<br \/>\nstandards. This may involve USPAP if deal-<br \/>\ning with a US-based entity, or International<br \/>\nValuation Standards (IVS) if doing work for IFRS<br \/>\npurposes. Deliberately setting aside CUSPAP<br \/>\nrequirements may put a member\u2019s professional<br \/>\nliability insurance coverage at risk, as well<br \/>\nas inviting an investigation under the provi-<br \/>\nsions of the AIC Standards. There are narrow<br \/>\ncircumstances where it may be appropriate to<br \/>\nintroduce a Jurisdictional Exception in order to<br \/>\ncomplete the work; however, these must still<br \/>\ncomply with CUSPAP.   <\/p>\n<p>The 2012 edition and all previous editions<br \/>\nof CUSPAP can be found on the AIC website at<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.aicanada.ca\/cmsPage.aspx?id=69.<br \/>\nSave a copy on your desktop, it is a handy<br \/>\nresource to have around. <\/p>\n<p>2. AIC designation or membership and<br \/>\nother professional designations <\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the number of professional<br \/>\ndesignations a member has with various<br \/>\norganizations or associations, every report that <\/p>\n<p>the member signs must include his\/her AIC<br \/>\ndesignation or disclose his\/her membership<br \/>\nstatus with the Institute. <\/p>\n<p>Ethics Standard Comment 5.4.7.viii:<br \/>\nAny AIC member who signs any report<br \/>\nmust identify their designation or<br \/>\nmembership status (AACI, CRA or AIC<br \/>\nCandidate member).<\/p>\n<p>Members cannot set aside their AIC designa-<br \/>\ntion (e.g., AIC Candidate member, CRA) and use<br \/>\nanother organization\u2019s designation for one type<br \/>\nof appraisal assignment (e.g., commercial) and<br \/>\nuse the AIC designation for assignments that are<br \/>\nwithin the scope of the designation. <\/p>\n<p>If the appraisal assignment is outside the<br \/>\nscope of the member\u2019s AIC designation (i.e.,<br \/>\nCRA), he\/she must sign the report with their AIC<br \/>\ndesignation and have it co-signed by an AACI<br \/>\nmember; regardless of whether a designation<br \/>\nunder a different professional organization allows<br \/>\nfor a broader scope of work than what is permit-<br \/>\nted under the AIC designation. <\/p>\n<p>3.

Members are reminded to look<br \/>\ninto their provincial requirements before<br \/>\nundertaking any assignment.<\/p>\n<p>Competence is key, regardless of your profes-<br \/>\nsional status!  <\/p>\n<p>4. Client, intended user, property owner:<br \/>\nWho gets a copy of the appraisal<br \/>\nreport?<\/p>\n<p>The client is generally the party or parties order-<br \/>\ning the appraisal report. It does not matter<br \/>\nwho pays for the work. The client\/appraiser<br \/>\nrelationship lasts at least until the completion<br \/>\nof the intended use of the original appraisal or<br \/>\nrelease from client. When in doubt, seek the<br \/>\nopinions of your co-workers or colleagues on the<br \/>\nissue of whether a potential conflict exists, before<br \/>\naccepting instructions from another client to re-<br \/>\nappraise a property that you have recently done<br \/>\nfor a different client.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that a party receiving a<br \/>\nreport copy from the client does not, as a conse-<br \/>\nquence, become a party to the client relationship,<br \/>\nnor does it become an intended user, unless<br \/>\nauthorized by the appraiser and clearly identified<br \/>\nin the report as the intended user. (Appraisal<br \/>\nStandard Comment 7.2: Client and Intended Users)<\/p>\n<p>An appraiser must identify the client, and to<br \/>\nthe extent possible other intended users by com-<br \/>\nmunication with the client, prior to accepting<br \/>\nthe assignment. Identification of the<br \/>\nintended use of the report is one of the<br \/>\nessential steps in defining the consultation<br \/>\nproblem to ensure the use of the report is<br \/>\nnot misleading. (Practice Note 12.15.2)<\/p>\n<p>Members must uphold the confidential<br \/>\nnature of the appraiser\/client relationship and not <\/p>\n<p>disclose the analyses, opinions, or conclusions in<br \/>\nan assignment to anyone other than:<br \/>\n\u2022\t 5.10.2.i.\tthe client and those persons <\/p>\n<p>specifically authorized by the client to<br \/>\nreceive such information; <\/p>\n<p>\u2022\t 5.10.2.ii.\tthird\tparties,\twhen\tthe\tmember\tis<br \/>\nlegally required to do so by due process of law;<br \/>\nor <\/p>\n<p>\u2022\t 5.10.2.iii.\tan\tauthorized\tcommittee\tof\tthe<br \/>\nInstitute.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, on its website, the Financial<br \/>\nConsumer Agency of Canada (Government of<br \/>\nCanada) has the following question and answer: <\/p>\n<p>Can my financial institution refuse to provide<br \/>\nme with a copy of my mortgage appraisal, even<br \/>\nthough I have paid for it? Answer: yes. The<br \/>\nfinancial institution can refuse to provide you<br \/>\nwith a copy of your mortgage appraisal. The<br \/>\nfinancial institution obtains the appraisal report<br \/>\nfor the purposes of underwriting the mortgage.<br \/>\nIt is meant for its own internal use. <\/p>\n<p>A good Professional Excellence Bulletin,<br \/>\nwritten by David Hildebrand (AACI), answers<br \/>\nthe key questions on this issue. You can<br \/>\nfind it on the AIC website at: http:\/\/www.<br \/>\naicanada.ca\/images\/content\/file\/who_is_my_<br \/>\nclient(v49bk1p36).pdf<\/p>\n<p>5. Estate planning<br \/>\nUnder Ethics Standard Comment 5.2 on records, a<br \/>\nmember must retain the workfile for a period of:<br \/>\n\u2022\t at\tleast\tseven\t(7)\tyears\tafter\tpreparation;<br \/>\n\u2022\t or\tat\tleast\ttwo\t(2)\tyears\tafter\tfinal\tdisposition\t<\/p>\n<p>of any judicial proceeding in which testimony<br \/>\nwas given; <\/p>\n<p>\u2022\t or\tany\tFirst\tProfessional\tLiability\tInsurance<br \/>\nCorporation (FPLIC) proceeding,<\/p>\n<p> whichever period expires last. <\/p>\n<p>The member must have custody of the<br \/>\nworkfile, or make appropriate workfile reten-<br \/>\ntion, access, and retrieval arrangements with<br \/>\nthe party having custody of the workfile. When<br \/>\na member passes away, his\/her estate is usually<br \/>\nadvised by the provincial association or affiliate<br \/>\nof the record keeping requirements. As part of <\/p>\n<p>the member\u2019s estate planning, it is important to<br \/>\nmake provisions to ensure that the workfiles are<br \/>\naccessible for the stated periods, in the event of<br \/>\nan insurance claim or a complaint. <\/p>\n<p>Downsizing or selling of the appraisal<br \/>\nbusiness by the spouse are common decisions<br \/>\nresulting from the passing of a member, yet few<br \/>\nare aware that arrangements must be made to<br \/>\nkeep the workfiles for the stated periods.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Estates do not have to purchase tail<br \/>\ncoverage. The professional liability insurance is<br \/>\nautomatically extended to the member\u2019s estate,<br \/>\nprovided the member was properly registered<br \/>\nand in good standing with the AIC, and all insur-<br \/>\nance payments are up to date.  <\/p>\n<p>6. Assumptions, Limiting Conditions and<br \/>\nExceptions are not one size fits all  <\/p>\n<p>While the Standards define Assumptions,<br \/>\nLimiting Conditions and Exceptions, and the<br \/>\nresidential form report provides a comprehensive<br \/>\nlist, and narrative report writers have boiler<br \/>\nplates, members must be mindful that each<br \/>\nappraisal assignment is unique and as such, must<br \/>\nbe customized to reflect the particularities of the<br \/>\nsubject property and the assignment.  <\/p>\n<p>Often, as part of the review of appraisal reports<br \/>\nsubmitted with complaints, issues arise, other than<br \/>\nthose noted in the complaint, due to irrelevant,<br \/>\nmisuse or lack of Assumptions, Limiting Conditions<br \/>\nand\/or Exceptions. Any inconsistencies raise ques-<br \/>\ntions regarding the appraiser\u2019s competence and on<br \/>\nwhether the appraisal report is misleading.  <\/p>\n<p>Members are encouraged to review Defini-<br \/>\ntions 2.12 (Assumption), 2.25 (Extraordinary<br \/>\nAssumption), 2.26 (Extraordinary Limiting<br \/>\nCondition) and 2.38 (Jurisdictional Exception),<br \/>\nas well as Appraisal Standard Comment 7.11<br \/>\n(Assumptions and Limiting Conditions) and to<br \/>\nfamiliarize themselves as to how and when they<br \/>\nmust be used.  <\/p>\n<p>Members looking for clarification<br \/>\non the Standards or with enquiries on<br \/>\nprofessional practice matters can contact<br \/>\nme at directorprofessionalpractice@<br \/>\naicanaca.ca or directly at (toll free) (866)<br \/>\n726-5996.

Answer: (c)<br \/>\nDefinition 2.15 Client: The party or parties who<br \/>\nengage the appraiser in a specific assignment.<br \/>\nAppraisal Standard Comment 7.2.1 goes on to<br \/>\nclarify that it \u201cdoes not matter who pays for the<br \/>\nwork.\u201d Typically, the lender contacts your office,<br \/>\norders the appraisal and tells you to collect the<br \/>\nfee from the applicant. The Standards are clear<br \/>\nin this instance: the lender is the client. The best<br \/>\npractice is to inform the applicant, before the<br \/>\nassignment is commenced, that the report will<br \/>\nbe addressed to the lender and is confidential<br \/>\nbetween that party and you.<\/p>\n<p>Q3. Answer: True<br \/>\nProfessional Practice Bulletin 27-E references<br \/>\nPractice Notes 12.21.1 regarding the requirement<br \/>\nto respect information that may be contained<br \/>\nwithin an appraisal report such as photographs.<br \/>\nThe insurance policy contains an Exclusion for any<br \/>\nintentional or wilful violation of any statute or<br \/>\nregulation. Refer to the July 13, 2012 communi-<br \/>\nqu\u00e9 for details.<\/p>\n<p>Q4. Answer: False<br \/>\nEthics Standard Comment 5.5.3 includes the<br \/>\nstatement that \u201cCRA members must include their<br \/>\ndesignation wherever signatures appear in an<br \/>\nappraisal report.\u201d Practice Note 12.35.2 goes on <\/p>\n<p>to explain that where members have multiple<br \/>\nappraisal designations \u201cthe intent of 5.5 is that the<br \/>\nMember must use their AIC designation pertaining<br \/>\nto the Member\u2019s scope of professional services.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Q5. Answer: False<br \/>\nEthics Standard Rule 4.2.1 states that it is unethi-<br \/>\ncal for a member \u201cto unknowingly fail to comply<br \/>\nwith Bylaws, Regulations and Standards, and the<br \/>\nProfessional Liability Insurance Program, of the<br \/>\nInstitute.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the AIC must first ensure their<br \/>\nwork is compliant with CUSPAP. If other standards<br \/>\nalso apply to the appraisal assignment then,<br \/>\ngenerally, the higher standard prevails (Refer to<br \/>\nthe Professional Practice Matters column in this<br \/>\nissue for details).<\/p>\n<p>Q6. Answer: (d)<br \/>\nTechnical assistance involves support to the<br \/>\nmember in the preparation of a report, such as<br \/>\ncollecting property data and other factual infor-<br \/>\nmation, but does not in itself include interpreta-<br \/>\ntion or analysis. A member may rely on technical<br \/>\nassistance from Student members of the Institute<br \/>\nor others, keeping in mind that the responsibility<br \/>\nfor the finished product rests with the member<br \/>\nsigning the report. (Definition 2.56) <\/p>\n<p>Q7. Answer: False<br \/>\nAs AIC members, candidates and their co-signors<br \/>\nmust be properly registered in the Candidate<br \/>\nRegistry to have professional liability insurance <\/p>\n<p>coverage. In the event of a claim, there would<br \/>\nbe no insurance coverage for the appraisal<br \/>\nassignments co-signed and in the event of a<br \/>\ncomplaint, both parties would be subject to<br \/>\ndisciplinary sanctions. Refer to Ethics Standard<br \/>\nComment 5.8 for the requirements on Liability<br \/>\nInsurance.<\/p>\n<p>Q8. Answer (c)<br \/>\nUnder Definition 2.35, the Intended User is<br \/>\nthe client and any other party as identified,<br \/>\nby name or type, as users of the appraisal,<br \/>\nconsulting, or review report, by the appraiser<br \/>\nbased on communication with the client at the<br \/>\ntime of the assignment. The client\/appraiser<br \/>\nrelationship lasts at least until the completion of<br \/>\nthe intended use of the original appraisal<br \/>\nor release from client. Appraisal Standard<br \/>\nComment 7.2.2  <\/p>\n<p>Essentially, there are no 2-for-1 appraisal<br \/>\nreports. Unless Intended User A is willing to<br \/>\nconsent to the release of a copy of the appraisal<br \/>\nreport to Intended User B, a new appraisal report<br \/>\nis required for Intended User B.

The Guideline, that set out OSFI\u2019s<br \/>\nexpectations for prudent residential mortgage<br \/>\nunderwriting, apply to all \u201cfederally-regulated<br \/>\nfinancial institutions (FRFIs) that are engaged in<br \/>\nresidential mortgage underwriting and\/or the<br \/>\nacquisition of residential mortgage loan assets<br \/>\nin Canada.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The call for comments provided an excellent<br \/>\nopportunity to reinforce AIC\u2019s position as the<br \/>\npremier real property valuation association in<br \/>\nCanada, with over 4,700 members across the<br \/>\ncountry. <\/p>\n<p>In its review of the proposed OSFI Guideline,<br \/>\nthe AIC focused comments on the implications<br \/>\nof the proposed business practices as they<br \/>\nrelated to Principle 4 on the appraisal and<br \/>\ncollateral components of the mortgage process.<br \/>\nPrinciple 4 of the Guideline states that \u201cFRFIs<br \/>\nshould have sound collateral management<br \/>\nand appraisal processes for the underlying<br \/>\nmortgage properties.\u201d Put another way, the<br \/>\nGuideline suggests that FRFIs must have<br \/>\nclear and transparent valuation policies and<br \/>\nprocedures, and should not rely on any single<br \/>\nmethod of property valuation. Rather, the<br \/>\nGuideline directs FRFIs to utilize a combination<br \/>\nof valuation tools and appraisal processes, <\/p>\n<p>S including on-site inspections, third-party appraisals and\/or automated valuation tools, in assessing the value of a property.<br \/>\nThe AIC expressed its full support for the <\/p>\n<p>Guideline and also strongly recommended that<br \/>\nthe same expectations apply not only to FRFIs,<br \/>\nbut to all organizations that provide mortgage<br \/>\nfinancing to Canadian borrowers. <\/p>\n<p>The AIC\u2019s comments were intended, in<br \/>\nprinciple, to ensure that the market value of the<br \/>\ncollateral required to support a mortgage appli-<br \/>\ncation is provided by independent designated<br \/>\nor licensed appraisal experts who are impartial<br \/>\nto the process and can provide a fair market<br \/>\nvalue assessment for mortgage lending and\/or<br \/>\nmortgage insurance purposes.  <\/p>\n<p>At the AIC conference this past June in<br \/>\nOttawa, members had the pleasure of hearing<br \/>\nVlasios Melessanakis, Director of Policy Develop-<br \/>\nment at OSFI, who talked about the five guiding<br \/>\nprinciples of the RMUPP and OSFI\u2019s expectations<br \/>\nregarding the appraisal and collateral com-<br \/>\nponents. The presentation coincided with the<br \/>\nrelease of the final Guideline and, in his com-<br \/>\nments, Mr. Melesssanakis spoke of the relevance<br \/>\nand value of AIC\u2019s perspectives on the Guideline.<\/p>\n<p>The conference also provided an opportunity<br \/>\nfor the AIC Board of Directors and senior manage-<br \/>\nment to meet with the AIC\u2019s provincial affiliates<br \/>\nto discuss collaboration on key public policy<br \/>\nissues. The discussions provided a foundation for<br \/>\nongoing dialogue throughout the year, through<br \/>\nregular meetings and conference calls. <\/p>\n<p>In May, concerns from members regarding<br \/>\nlender requests for the taking of interior photos<br \/>\nand the issue of protection of personal informa-<br \/>\ntion were raised with the Director of Profes-<br \/>\nsional Practice. Concerned with the require-<br \/>\nments under the Personal Information Protection <\/p>\n<p>and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), since<br \/>\nphotographs are a key element of an appraisal<br \/>\nreport, the AIC wrote to the Royal Bank of<br \/>\nCanada (RBC), the lender referred to in the<br \/>\nconcerns. What ensued was an opportunity for<br \/>\ngood dialogue and cooperation between the<br \/>\nAIC and the RBC, whereby RBC\u2019s requirements<br \/>\nand expectations, as outlined in RBC\u2019s appraisal<br \/>\nguidelines to appraisers, were clarified.  <\/p>\n<p>While the concerns at the time referred to RBC,<br \/>\nmembers are reminded that interior photos and<br \/>\nthe requirement to obtain consent are not specific<br \/>\nto or dictated by the AIC or RBC. The fundamental<br \/>\npremise of PIPEDA, which has been in effect<br \/>\nsince 2000, is that the personal information of<br \/>\nan occupant must be protected.\u00a0PIPEDA applies<br \/>\nto everyone collecting personal information (i.e.,<br \/>\nappraisers, lending institutions, private sector busi-<br \/>\nnesses, public sectors departments and agencies). <\/p>\n<p>The communication pieces sent to the<br \/>\nmembership in July on the requirements for<br \/>\nconsent for the taking of interior photos can be<br \/>\nfound in the Members Section, under Forms<br \/>\nand Templates. <\/p>\n<p>The new AIC Strategic Plan includes a strong<br \/>\nfocus on promoting AIC members as the leading<br \/>\nvaluation professionals, and on advocating for<br \/>\nthe appraisal profession and our members\u2019<br \/>\ninterests on national and international public<br \/>\npolicy issues.  <\/p>\n<p>End notes<br \/>\n1  2011-12 Advocacy and Government Relations <\/p>\n<p>Committee was chaired by President-Elect Dan<br \/>\nWilson (BC) and included Directors Surinder<br \/>\nPal (MB), Anne Helliker (ON), Keith Lancastle,<br \/>\nCEO and Nathalie Roy-Patenaude, Director of<br \/>\nProfessional Practice.<\/p>\n<p>2 OSFI Guideline B-20, June 2012<\/p>\n<p>canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada 37<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>Member profile<\/p>\n<p>Steffen Hagen, AACI<br \/>\ngoing the distance<\/p>\n<p>n the first few decades of his life, Steffen<br \/>\nHagen, AACI, never envisioned he would<br \/>\nbecome an appraiser or an Ironman triathlete. <\/p>\n<p>Today, he is both.<br \/>\nThree years ago, he started cycling as a way <\/p>\n<p>to improve his level of fitness. That activity even-<br \/>\ntually led to running, then swimming. \u201cA friend<br \/>\ntold me \u2018if you are going to ride a bicycle and you<br \/>\nare going to run, you might as well jump into the<br \/>\npool and do triathlons,\u2019\u201d recalls Hagen. \u201cSo I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, in his journey to becoming an<br \/>\nappraiser, there are many parallels to his evolution<br \/>\nas a triathlete. For instance, several building blocks<br \/>\nwere in place by the time he made the transition<br \/>\nto a career in valuation. Hagen started his working<br \/>\nlife as a journeyman carpenter, earning his Trades<br \/>\nQualification and Inter Provincial Certification in<br \/>\n1985. Working mostly in commercial and heavy<br \/>\nconstruction, he ended his carpentry career in a<br \/>\nmanufacturing plant, where he had been involved<br \/>\nin multi-million dollar capital projects.  <\/p>\n<p>In the early 1990s, when work was becoming<br \/>\nscarce, Hagen decided it was time to move on.<br \/>\n\u201cI saw the writing on the wall and thought it was<br \/>\ntime to make a change,\u201d he explains. \u201cI had the<br \/>\nopportunity to return to school, so I took it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hagen started his studies in an accounting pro-<br \/>\ngram, but quickly found the content too dry. Once<br \/>\nhe was back in the school system, he began to real-<br \/>\nize what other options were available. \u201cI had always<br \/>\nhad a passion for real estate,\u201d he notes, adding that,<br \/>\nwhen he learned about the real estate appraisal<br \/>\nprogram at Vancouver\u2019s Langara College, he decided<br \/>\nto enroll. Being able to apply certain credits from the<br \/>\naccounting program made for a smooth transi-<br \/>\ntion. In the end, he completed the Diploma option<br \/>\nprogram at Langara in one year instead of two.  <\/p>\n<p>With the economy still in recession, Hagen<br \/>\nwas advised to temporarily forgo his preference for<br \/>\ncommercial valuation work and to start his career as<br \/>\na residential appraiser. \u201cIn 1996, I went to work for a <\/p>\n<p>residential appraisal firm and, a year later, obtained<br \/>\nmy CRA,\u201d he explains. \u201cI was very fortunate to<br \/>\nconnect with and be trained by one of the best<br \/>\nresidential appraisers in the industry, although I told<br \/>\nthem all along that I would not be stopping there.<br \/>\nIt was always my intention to obtain my AACI.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Hagen goes on to say that, \u201cin hindsight,<br \/>\nobtaining my CRA in advance of the AACI<br \/>\ndesignation was hugely beneficial, as it enhanced<br \/>\nother practical skills that are necessary to fully<br \/>\nencompass all aspects of being an accredited<br \/>\nappraiser. I am still of the opinion that becoming<br \/>\na CRA should be a prerequisite to obtaining the<br \/>\nAACI designation and I find it interesting that the<br \/>\nAppraisal Institute does not share a similar view.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1999, he became an employee at Victoria-<br \/>\nbased D.R. Coell and Associates Inc. and started<br \/>\nworking towards his AACI. \u201cThis company was<br \/>\nalways number one on my list of places I wanted<br \/>\nto work,\u201d notes Hagen. \u201cIt took some persever-<br \/>\nance, but I have always been a firm believer of<br \/>\nquality training and I thought this was one of the<br \/>\nfew places for me to obtain it.\u201d Founded in 1974,<br \/>\nD.R. Coell is one of the larger valuation firms on <\/p>\n<p>I<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver Island, covering all areas of expertise. The<br \/>\nfirm has established a solid reputation for providing<br \/>\nreal estate appraisal and consulting for a wide variety<br \/>\nof purposes, including purchase, sale, rental review,<br \/>\nexpropriation, litigation, financing, right-of-way<br \/>\nacquisition, negotiation, assessment review, develop-<br \/>\nment cost, asset transfers and insurance.  <\/p>\n<p>Today, Hagen contracts his services as an inde-<br \/>\npendent appraiser and consultant. His work includes<br \/>\ngeneral commercial, industrial, multi-family and<br \/>\ninstitutional valuations, in a geographical area that<br \/>\nencompasses Greater Victoria, the Gulf Islands and<br \/>\nvarious other Vancouver Island locations. Some of<br \/>\nthese properties \u2013 especially those in remote areas \u2013<br \/>\ncan be quite challenging, given the unique nature of<br \/>\nthe properties and the lack of market data. Nonethe-<br \/>\nless, Hagen enjoys working on these projects. \u201cI have<br \/>\nthe opportunity to see some very beautiful large<br \/>\nacreage lands and waterfront holdings, while at the<br \/>\nsame time honing in on my research skills, which are<br \/>\ncritical in this profession,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Hagen\u2019s passion within the<br \/>\nprofession is more related to planned new construc-<br \/>\ntion than existing buildings. \u201cThanks to my construc-<\/p>\n<p>canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada38<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>tion background, I do a fair bit of work for develop-<br \/>\nment projects,\u201d he explains. Just like cycling was able<br \/>\nto give Hagen the endurance to undertake running,<br \/>\nswimming and, eventually, triathlons, Hagen\u2019s knowl-<br \/>\nedge and experience in the construction industry are<br \/>\ntransferable to his appraisal work. His background<br \/>\nprovides many advantages, from being able to<br \/>\nfully comprehend building plans to understanding<br \/>\nconstruction techniques and project management.  <\/p>\n<p>These are important skills, especially when doing<br \/>\nan appraisal from plans. \u201cWhen you are doing a pro-<br \/>\nspective market value of a proposed condominium<br \/>\nor commercial building, it is critical to be able to<br \/>\nenvision something before it is fi nished,\u201d explains<br \/>\nHagen, adding that he can also engage in dialogue at<br \/>\nthe same level as the client. \u201cIt instils confi dence in<br \/>\nthe client that the appraiser understands the process.<br \/>\nIn most cases, the client is more appreciative of the<br \/>\nappraiser\u2019s opinion as it relates to the effi  ciency,<br \/>\nmarketability, gross retail value, and profi t, of any<br \/>\ngiven development proposal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hagen adds that he enjoys being associated with<br \/>\npeople in the real estate business such as brokers,<br \/>\nproperty managers, builders and developers. He also<br \/>\nappreciates the freedom and independence \u2013 the<br \/>\nability to establish his own hours. <\/p>\n<p>It is that fl exibility which allowed him to<br \/>\nbecome involved with the Appraisal Institute of<br \/>\nCanada\u2019s Victoria Chapter as a member of the<br \/>\nPublic Relations Committee and later as treasurer.<br \/>\nLately, being able to manage his own time has<br \/>\nmeant being able to schedule the training that<br \/>\ncomes with becoming a triathlete.  <\/p>\n<p>Hagen\u2019s fi rst triathlon was an in-house event<br \/>\nheld by the Victoria YMCA, shortly after he took<br \/>\nout a membership in 2009. Inspired by his fellow<br \/>\nathletes, some of whom had already competed in<br \/>\nthe renowned Ironman triathlon, he entered six<br \/>\nmore races that same year.<\/p>\n<p>He was hooked. In 2010, he completed another<br \/>\nseven triathlons and, by the end of that racing year,<br \/>\nhe felt confi dent enough to register for the ultimate<br \/>\nevent, Ironman Canada \u2013 a 3.8 km swim, a 180<br \/>\nkm cycle, and a 42.2 km run. During the training<br \/>\nfor this event, Hagen went to the Hawaiian island<br \/>\nof Kona, which also hosts the Lava Man Triathlon,<br \/>\nwith shorter Olympic distances for each segment. He<br \/>\ncompleted that race in April 2011.<\/p>\n<p>At the peak of his training, Hagen was devot-<br \/>\ning 26 hours a week to preparing for the main<br \/>\nevent. He logged more than 500 hours of training<br \/>\nfor the entire year. \u201cThis is where I was fortunate<br \/>\nthat I had the fl exibility with my work,\u201d he notes. <\/p>\n<p>On August 28, 2011, in Penticton, BC, Steff en<br \/>\nHagen completed his fi rst Ironman race in a time<br \/>\nof 12 hours and 43 minutes.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all reach a point in our careers \u2013 what-<br \/>\never they may be \u2013 when we feel it is time to<br \/>\ntake some time out to recharge,\u201d says Hagen.<br \/>\n\u201cTraining for Ironman was a personal challenge<br \/>\nthat required a lot of my time, and it provided<br \/>\nme with the break I needed from my career.<br \/>\nAlthough I did not leave work completely, I was<br \/>\nnot as career-focused as I had been in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since then, he has been redirecting that time<br \/>\nand energy back into the real estate industry,<br \/>\nalbeit in a broader way, using the same self-disci-<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be able to envision<br \/>\nsomething before it is <\/p>\n<p>fi nished&#8230;instils confi dence<br \/>\nin the client that the <\/p>\n<p>appraiser understands<br \/>\nthe process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>pline and determination with which he prepared<br \/>\nfor and completed the Ironman competition.<br \/>\n\u201cThere is no question that a career in all facets<br \/>\nof real estate it is a major commitment,\u201d says<br \/>\nHagen, acknowledging that there are similarities<br \/>\nbetween the career and the sport he loves. <\/p>\n<p>He points out that, every year, there are people<br \/>\nwho sign up for Ironman, but, despite having a<br \/>\nyear to prepare for it, do not commit to the train-<br \/>\ning. \u201cWhen race day arrives, they are practically<br \/>\noverwhelmed by the distances of each element<br \/>\nand, in many cases, are not able to fi nish,\u201d says<br \/>\nHagen. \u201cIt is not something you should go into<br \/>\nwithout being properly prepared. It is like that in<br \/>\nour business too. When people are committed to<br \/>\ntheir work, it shows. The opposite is also true, and,<br \/>\nunfortunately, that is something that tarnishes the<br \/>\nreputation of our profession as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Proper training in the appraisal profession is<br \/>\nstill more important than ever, he adds. As the<br \/>\npopulation of our membership ages, more apprais-<br \/>\ners will be retiring. \u201cBecause of that, along with<br \/>\ncontinual changes in technology and the industry<br \/>\nin general, there are opportunities in this business,\u201d<br \/>\nnotes Hagen. But, with these changes comes an<br \/>\nincreasing need for highly eff ective training and<br \/>\nmentorship \u2013 something Hagen would like to see<br \/>\nas a priority within the organization. That, says the<br \/>\nIronman triathlete and seasoned appraiser, is what<br \/>\nit will take to go the distance.  <\/p>\n<p>Pub 4.625\u201dx3.375\u201d_AIC<\/p>\n<p>WHAT GOES AROUND<br \/>\nCOMES AROUND!<\/p>\n<p>www.notarius.com\/AIC<\/p>\n<p>You adopted Notarius<br \/>\nin greater numbers<br \/>\nWe make it more affordable<\/p>\n<p>The wheel keeps on turning.<br \/>\n*We have reduced our annual service fees and we offer<br \/>\n  better savings than ever before for groups of over 50 users.<\/p>\n<p>canadian Property Valuation Volume 56 | book 3 | 2012 \u00c9valuation immobili\u00e8re au canada 39<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.notarius.com\/AIC<\/p>\n<p>click here to return to table 0f contents click here to return to table 0f contents<\/p>\n<p>www.caamp.org<\/p>\n<p>recommend your<br \/>\nclients to an AMP<\/p>\n<p>Refer with<br \/>\nConfidence<\/p>\n<p>The Accredited Mortgage Professional<br \/>\ndesignation is Canada\u2019s national <\/p>\n<p>proficiency standard for the mortgage<br \/>\nindustry.

Hence, it is a comprehensive blend of<br \/>\ndemonstrating detailed market analysis, research<br \/>\nand current theory. Guided Case Study courses<br \/>\nextend over months, requiring organization and<br \/>\ndedicated work space. Therefore, if your only<br \/>\npersonal space is the dining room with files on the<br \/>\ntable, maps on the wall and papers on the floor, do<br \/>\nnot plan a dinner party until you are finished.<\/p>\n<p>Often, Candidates select the wrong subject,<br \/>\npicked for expediency and without researching<br \/>\nthe availability of data. The requirements of the<br \/>\nGuided Case Study provide much flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>The Candidate can pick any effective date up<br \/>\nto five years prior to the date he or she registers<br \/>\ntheir property. Plan ahead. Before registration: (1)<br \/>\nsearch land and improved sales to find the best<br \/>\nsales; (2) pick sales requiring the least amount<br \/>\nof adjustment and a time frame with sufficient<br \/>\nmarket data to support the approaches to value,<br \/>\nas well as required adjustment information; and<br \/>\n(3) pick the subject and effective date.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2 is to prepare file folders, labeled to<br \/>\ncoincide with the lesson assignments. This is<br \/>\nin the interests of organization and planning<br \/>\nahead. Step 3 is to familiarize yourself with<br \/>\nthe requirements of each lesson assignment.<br \/>\nThroughout the workbook there are numerous<br \/>\nalerts in blocks and titled Planning Ahead, Hints<br \/>\nfor Success, WARNINGS! An effective technique is<br \/>\nto photocopy those alert pages and put them in<br \/>\nthe appropriate file folder, so they are front and<br \/>\ncentre before you begin that lesson assignment.<\/p>\n<p>A Another old adage is the KISS rule (Keep It Simple Stupid). Scan the lesson assignments and start collecting data for each assignment on a day-<br \/>\nto-day basis including maps, plans, re-sales, rental<br \/>\nand expenses, etc. During your daily activities,<br \/>\nbe conscious of opportunities to speak with<br \/>\ncontractors, assessors, municipal staff, vendors,<br \/>\nand purchasers or to obtain maps and documents.<br \/>\nWhen working on another project and the<br \/>\nopportunity to ask questions about your subject is<br \/>\nthere, what better time to ask a question or obtain<br \/>\nmarket data for your subject? Put it in the folder.<\/p>\n<p>The grader\u2019s role is not to agree or disagree<br \/>\nwith your conclusions. A grader\u2019s role is to look<br \/>\nat the support data you provide and rationale<br \/>\napplies. There must be sufficient information,<br \/>\nanalysis and explanation for a reader to come<br \/>\nto a reasonably similar conclusion. Neither is it a<br \/>\ngrader\u2019s role to substitute as a mentor or teacher. <\/p>\n<p>At this point, it is presumed that the Candidate<br \/>\nhas had both. The grader will assist with<br \/>\nsuggestions, comments and guidance. Hence, if<br \/>\nthere are any misunderstandings, the onus is on<br \/>\nthe Candidate to ask for clarification.<\/p>\n<p>The Guided Case Study report is, for most, one<br \/>\nof the most comprehensive appraisal reports he<br \/>\nor she will complete. There is no room for opinion<br \/>\nof the Candidate that is not market supported.<\/p>\n<p>On a final note, for those not used to writing<br \/>\nreports, it is an absolute must that the principles<br \/>\nof clarity, theory, persuasiveness, as well as being<br \/>\ngrammatically correct are demonstrated.

These studies, also called<br \/>\nDepreciation Reports, serve as a planning<br \/>\ntool for condos and stratas to help ensure<br \/>\nthat owners have adequate financial coverage<br \/>\nfor the repair and replacement of \u2018common<br \/>\nproperty.\u2019 When properly executed, these<br \/>\nstudies can identify problem areas that require<br \/>\ncloser examination and provide assurance<br \/>\nthat the annual contributions by owners will<br \/>\nbe sufficient to cover anticipated expenses \u2013<br \/>\navoiding overwhelming special assessments.  <\/p>\n<p>With a properly completed and well-<br \/>\nexecuted Reserve Fund Study in place, condo<br \/>\nowners can take comfort in knowing the long-<br \/>\nterm integrity of their real estate investment<br \/>\nis protected. Furthermore, this plan can also<br \/>\nreassure prospective buyers that the strata is<br \/>\nhealthy, with potential problems anticipated<br \/>\nand a \u2018war chest\u2019 in place to deal with them as<br \/>\nthey arise. Ultimately, the Reserve Fund Study<br \/>\ncan become a marketing tool \u2013 or perhaps<br \/>\nmore to the point, the absence of a solid study<br \/>\nand plan could and should be a red flag to<br \/>\npotential buyers. <\/p>\n<p>The qualifications for producing Reserve<br \/>\nFund Studies vary by province, but they<br \/>\ngenerally tend to be completed by engineers,<br \/>\narchitects, building technologists, and valuation <\/p>\n<p>professionals. Appraisal Institute of Canada<br \/>\n(AIC) members may be uniquely qualified for<br \/>\nthese studies, having not only education and<br \/>\nexperience in property inspection and cost<br \/>\nestimating, but also in detailed financial analysis.<br \/>\nThe cash flow analysis is the key to these studies<br \/>\nand it is here that valuation professionals stand<br \/>\nout from other qualified individuals. Furthermore,<br \/>\nbeyond the specific requirements for Reserve<br \/>\nFund Studies, AIC members may, at the same<br \/>\ntime, be able to advise stratas\/condos regarding<br \/>\nappropriate insurable values and highest and<br \/>\nbest use considerations for the project \u2013 adding<br \/>\nto the value proposition for AIC members<br \/>\ncompleting these studies. <\/p>\n<p>After fruitful discussions at AIC\u2019s Learning<br \/>\nAdvisory Committee, UBC is now developing<br \/>\na CPD course on Reserve Fund Studies.<br \/>\nThis three-lesson course will provide a<br \/>\ncomprehensive overview of the legislative and<br \/>\nmarket context for these studies, as well as an<br \/>\nin-depth study of component identification,<br \/>\nlifespan and replacement cost estimating, as<br \/>\nwell as cash flow projecting. There have also<br \/>\nbeen preliminary discussions of developing<br \/>\na Reserve Fund Study \u2018Guided Case Study\u2019<br \/>\ndeveloped specifically for AIC members who<br \/>\nwant to build on the knowledge provided by<br \/>\ntheir designation and become active in the field<br \/>\nof Reserve Fund Studies.<\/p>\n<p>The Reserve Fund Studies CPD course is<br \/>\nexpected to be offered in late 2012.
