Added definition for 'Real property' and modified the definition of 'Uniform standards of professional appraisal practices'.

Added exemptions for real estate brokers giving price opinions, employees of the Bank of North Dakota, and non-appraiser professionals providing value opinions in their ordinary course of business.
