Jason Tillema, SRA, AI-RRS

3 hours of CE approved for appraisers and assessors

Course Description

This demonstration-driven workshop introduces real estate appraisers to practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday appraisal practice through three live demonstrations tailored to beginner, intermediate, and advanced experience levels.


Participants will learn the key distinctions between chatbots, skills, connectors, and AI agents, and observe how each can be applied to common appraisal-related tasks. The course also explores ethical considerations, USPAP-consistent practices, and structured verification techniques designed to help appraisers evaluate and confirm AI-generated information before incorporating it into appraisal assignments or reports.



This is a demonstration-based program. Participants will observe live, instructor-led demonstrations and are not required to bring a device, create user accounts, or install software.


Course Objective

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate between chatbots, skills, connectors, and AI agents and identify appropriate use cases for each within the appraisal process.
  • Apply artificial intelligence tools in a manner consistent with USPAP obligations and professional ethical standards.
  • Recognize the strengths and limitations of various AI technologies used in appraisal practice.
  • Evaluate AI-generated content using structured verification methods before relying on or incorporating the information into appraisal assignments.
  • Select appropriate AI tools to improve efficiency while maintaining professional judgment, credibility, and compliance with appraisal standards.

This course emphasizes practical application, responsible use, and independent verification, helping appraisers understand how AI can enhance workflow efficiency without replacing professional expertise and judgment.
