Founded in 1990, RAC continues to be the premier appraisal organization whose members focus on complex residential properties for relocation, litigation support, testimony, and reviews.

TESTIMONIALS

  • When selecting qualified appraisers the first consideration is whether they are members of Relocation Appraisers and Consultants (RAC). RAC appraisers are among the best in the relocation industry. They understand the relocation process, are well versed in the changes taking place in the relocation industry, and meet the demanding standards of CapRelo and our clients. I can depend on RAC appraisers to provide top quality appraisals that are professionally prepared and justifiably reflect the Anticipated Sale Price of the property.

  • Dwellworks believes in the benefits of having an industry group focused on relocation appraisal and greatly appreciates their dedication to this cause.

  • We consider the RAC appraisers the “Gold Standard” of the industry. This elite group of appraisers are the leaders in their industry, always knowledgeable and professional and are terrific partners and teachers for the Relocation Industry.

  • Please let your membership know that the “Price is Right” is an awesome session for everyone to participate in. When you have a session where all participate, the knowledge one gets out of it is MUCH more than just sitting and listening. I vote for more of these!!!

  • The RAC Reporter is the first place I look for a relocation appraiser. Unfortunately, I cannot always find what I need as there are major markets as well as states without a RAC member. A smart and dedicated appraiser would do well to investigate membership in this great organization. Becoming a member will increase relocation business, further hone your expertise, and add access to high level training. Membership in RAC is a solid investment into a strong and profitable future.

  • Ron Box, Michael Cook, and Jim Goodrich, our RAC Appraisers, did a wonderful job of training the Altair team on the Appraisal Review process. They provided real world examples, covered key points to look for on the Worldwide ERC Summary Appraisal Report, and answered questions that were presented by the team. The training was fun, interactive, and informative. Their tenure and experience was very beneficial to the team.

Shortage of Affordable Housing

To address the critical shortage of affordable housing, state and local governments are considering “missing middle housing” laws to increase allowable housing densities to as many as 10 single family residential dwelling units per lot. This session will explore some of the questions that these new laws have raised for both appraisers and lenders. The guidance for appraisers provided by one state – Washington – will be explored with the opportunity for participants to provide input as to other possible solutions.
