Zack Rhodes did an outstanding job teaching and sharing his knowledge about the ins and outs of the appraisal world, very informative!
Zack's class was the most interesting class I have ever taken and the instructor was very knowledgeable, easy to follow along with the entire time. I also liked how he had it all laid out in the notes and followed the slides, it was very well organized and I learned a lot. Also the breaks separated the material. Again, I got more out of this class than any other I have ever taken. Thank you!
I have to say, in nearly 10 years of real estate CE classes, this one BY FAR was the best one I’ve attended. Highly recommend this class!
