2021 New England Appraisers Expo - by Steve Sousa
MBREA
We were moving full steam ahead for a return to the Four Points Hotel for the 2021 New England Appraisers Expo when the surge in COVID’s delta variant threw us a curve-ball. The escalating number of cases coupled with member feedback caused us to throw the engine into reverse sending us back to the virtual world.
The 2021 Expo will live-stream over three mornings giving you the opportunity to earn up to 10-hours of appraisal continuing education. Registration is required for either the seven-hour Commercial Expo or the seven-hour Residential Expo before you can sign up for the additional three-hours of programming. Here’s what the schedule looks like.
October 18, 2021: Everyone starts their Expo experience on October 18, with four-hours of dynamic speakers – economist Christopher Foote, congressman Jake Auchincloss, and appraiser/data scientist George Dell.
October 19, 2021: Commercial Expo attendees tune in the morning of October 19 for three-hours of top-notch education, including a panel of commercial appraisal review professionals. Also on tap is Donald Bouchard discussing what’s happening with retail malls.
October 27, 2021: Residential Expo attendees get together virtually for a couple of presentations about emerging technologies followed by a return of George Dell with ideas on how to better utilize modern analytical methods and techniques. This is three-hours of CE credit.
A big thank you to Ken Dicks, John Drew, Brad Hevenor, and Lianne Andreucci for their expertise in identifying topics and recruiting speakers to the Expo.

Tariffs: Existential threat, or serious real estate impacts - by Daniel Calano
You must know from all the news, that “Trump tariffs” have been recently reviewed, discussed, evaluated, and as promised, implemented swiftly. But, they have also been modified, reduced or increased, just as fast and somewhat quixotically.
Real estate without good estate planning - a troublesome problem - by Daniel Calano
I spent the better part of a day this week working with attorneys on estate planning. I am clearly not an attorney, but I have learned much over the years while consulting on real estate, its potential, its future during the life of clients, as well as, shall we say, later.
It’s a confusing real estate world: Don’t you think? - by Daniel Calano
The news is full of “never before” pronouncements. Never before has there been a pandemic so impactful on real estate. Never before has technology allowed for remote business meetings on such a frequent basis. Never before would people so comfortably work from home as to vacate office buildings, at least on Fridays and Mondays.
