Greater Downtown MIBOR - February Meeting 2026

Ever feel like your deal is going great.....and then the appraisal shows up like a bad blind date?

Well, Greater Downtown MIBOR is excited to present our next meeting: “Date the Appraiser.”

This interactive, round-table style event is designed to create open dialogue, real education, and stronger collaboration between Realtors and appraisers — all in a relaxed, engaging format.

How it works:
We’ll feature three local appraisers, each stationed at their own table. Realtors will rotate in small groups of approximately 6–10 agents every 15-20 minutes, giving you the opportunity to spend focused time with each appraiser, ask questions, and discuss real-world scenarios.

Topics will include:

• What’s changing in the appraisal industry (regulations, technology, timelines, lender expectations)
• How appraisals are calculated — and how Realtors can better support the process
• Low appraisals: how to respond, challenge appropriately, and help protect the deal

The goal of this event is simple:
To strengthen relationships, improve understanding, and help Realtors feel more confident navigating the appraisal process in today’s market.

Community Give-Back Initiative:

We heard your feedback, and we’re excited to turn it into action by giving back together. As part of our Q1 community give-back initiative, we’ll be accepting dry food donations for Gleaners Food Bank at our February meeting. Your participation helps support neighbors in our community while we continue learning and growing together.
