James A. Kirchmeyer Serves as Panelist at Two Seminars
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- April 30, 2004 -- James A. Kirchmeyer, president of Real Info, Inc., a national real estate valuation company headquartered in Buffalo, N.Y.,
served as a panelist for October Research Corporation's eRadio-AVM Nation audio seminar and the Valuation 2004 Conference sponsored by Appraisal Buzz.
Broadcast live from Cleveland on Thursday, April 29, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., the AVM Nation discussion covered the latest automated valuation model (AVM) technology.
The Valuation 2004 appearance, which centered on appraiser-assisted AVM technology and its importance in managing collateral risk, was part of the annual three-day
convention held at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, Nev., from May 6 through May 8.
The audio seminar was conducted in an interactive talk radio format, with a roundtable of industry experts and call-in questions from listeners.
Panelists discussed how appraisers could use valuation technology to grow their business and the role of appraisers in the development of new alternative
valuation products. The roundtable also addressed the future of AVM technology, such as trends, quality, data and reliability, appraiser-assisted
valuation technology, and the future roles of appraisers in a more automated landscape. The eRadio seminar was developed to highlight topics of interest to
lenders, appraisers, vendor management companies, and AVM providers.
Kirchmeyer's panel discussion at the Valuation 2004 Conference was a closed session for members of the Collateral Risk Network (CRN).
CRN is a private email group of chief appraisers and collateral risk managers from major lending institutions.
The purpose of the group is to network and discuss the challenges and issues that arise for those involved in collateral risk.
Kirchmeyer was also involved in a questions and answers session for an appraiser continuing education course at the conference.
The course focused on AVMs and Appraiser Assisted Automated Valuation Models (AAVMs). He also spoke at a seminar for lenders regarding AAVMs.
"It was exciting to participate in these open-forum environments and to share expertise and ideas with industry leaders," said Kirchmeyer.
"It was great to receive the questions from participants and to see what their needs are."
