Listen "Designations"
Episode Synopsis
The episode focuses on the process of acquiring designation through the Appraisal Institute, featuring recent SRA designee Megan Judd, a residential real estate appraiser for 30 years. Judd speaks with passion about what prompted her to acquire her SRA designation and the multi-year journey she took, concluding this past year.
She talks about the value of the designation, the job opportunities it unlocks and the importance of remaining relevant through designation in a fragile marketplace. Vailas and Boizot also reflect on their own journeys to acquiring designation and the value it added to their professional lives.
They also discuss opportunities for local coalition building and lobbying members of Congress on behalf of appraisers through AI’s Leadership Development and Advisory Council (LDAC)
