Really! This short intro video accurately portrays the RAC organizational culture and why I love these people.
I am a long time member of RAC [1], an appraisal organization that specializes in complex residential properties. It was founded in 1990 to focus on the relocation subset of residential appraising but this is not a mutually exclusive point. An appraiser who provides high quality relocation appraisals also provides high quality appraisals for complex residential assignments. Most of our members do a lot of appraisal work outside of the relocation universe.
For Miller Samuel, relocation appraisal work has never been a large part of our practice given our New York market location but the draw to retain my membership has remained powerful.
Here are some thoughts:
For Appraisers – RAC is nominally priced, full of incredible experienced people and most important, absent the crazy appraisal politics that have nothing to do with making someone a more valuable appraisal professional. Check us out [2].
For Financial Institutions – If you ever need a resource to get the best residential real estate appraisers in the country, you simply need to check out RAC [1]. And if our organization doesn’t have coverage in a specific market [3] you are interested in, we’d be happy to recommend someone to you.
