Norwood, MA The 2016 New England Appraisers Expo was held at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel on Monday, October 24. This annual event was sponsored by Landy Insurance, MLS Property Information Network, Strategic Information Resources and The Warren Group.
This is an annual education offering that was started in the 1980s by John Easton and Richard Goulet and is now the effort of the Massachusetts Board of Real Estate Appraisers (MBREA) and the Massachusetts/Rhode Island Chapter of the Appraisal Institute.
It is a day of education and networking for real estate appraisers and offers 7 hours certification credits for commercial and residential appraisers in the states of Conn., Maine, Mass., N.H., R.I. and Vermont. Numerous local leaders in fields related to real estate appraisal practices donated numerous hours in providing these educational offerings. Commercial and residential appraisers met jointly for the morning and listened to presentations by Sean Becketti, Ph.D., vice president and chief economist of Economic & Housing Research for Freddie Mac and Joseph Traynor, MRICS, GAA, chair of the Appraisal Qualifications Board. The morning session was wrapped up by Marie Wentling, who also moderated a panel on “New Cool Tools for Better Appraisals.” Panel members were Matt Cabrera, president of 3D Data, Glenn Enger and Jeffrey Howry.
