We’re Live — Session 1 is Now Available (100% Free)
Platform-Agnostic
Equalization Valuation Modeling: Tools for Assessing Staff, VABs, Review
Commissions & Independent Consultants
Today marks the official launch of
our new 8-session series.
If
you work for a small or mid-sized assessing jurisdiction and are trying to
understand how the CAMA system produces values, serve on a Review Commission,
are part of a Value Adjustment Board, or work as an independent consultant,
this series was built for you.
Session
1 is completely free and unlocked for everyone.
In this foundational session, we
demonstrate a practical, transparent, Excel-based (and platform-agnostic)
approach to building Equalization Valuation Models using your jurisdiction’s own Just Values.
In
Session 1, you will learn:
· How to construct a proper equalization
dataset
· The complete 2-Pass
Forensic Outlier Protocol
· A striking real-world “Wake-Up Call”
sample showing current misalignments
· How the model improves dramatically
after cleaning (R² to 93.78%, much tighter uniformity)
· Just Value Ratio (JVR) diagnostics
with clear interpretation
·
Step-by-step Excel instructions (Data
Analysis ToolPak)
This is your independent,
defensible toolset — no vendor lock-in required. Works in Excel for smaller
offices and scales to SPSS/SAS for larger jurisdictions.

Fellow coffee lovers: You can also support this ongoing work (and
share a virtual coffee with me) via Buy Me a Coffee. Every bit helps keep this
mission — helping dreamers achieve their goals — moving forward.
A
portion of the proceeds from the full series will support charitable causes.
The full 8-session series will
continue weekly, taking you from model development to powerful
applications: Regression Comps (bottom-up) and Ratio Challenges (top-down).
This is structural empowerment in the back end of mass appraisal.
If you care about fair,
transparent, and defensible property valuation, join us.
Session 1 is available right now.
Let’s get started.
