ABOUT RAC:


RAC members have literally "written the book" on relocation appraising, having authored the official Worldwide ERC Appraisal Guide.

Arnold Schwartz and Jay Delich developed the on-line seminar "The Relocation Appraisal Training Program", Worldwide ERC's new training program that will enhance your skills in the relocation appraisal arena.

The first appraiser to be named to the Worldwide ERC Board of Directors was RAC member Arnold M. Schwartz. RAC's 2003 President Brad Charnas, SRA, SCRP, GMS was elected to ERC'S Board of Directors in 2003 and was later elected Vice President of Worldwide ERC in 2005, the first appraiser ever elected as an officer of Worldwide ERC. He subsequently served as Worldwide ERC President in 2006 and Chairman of the Board in 2007.

The current RAC president has a permanent position on Worldwide ERC'S Industry Advisory Council which is composed of individuals reflecting the breadth of the relocation industry. The Industry Advisory Council (IAC) facilitates open communication, highlights emerging trends, and identifies opportunities for the growth and betterment of the relocation profession.

Current and past RAC members authored the current Worldwide ERC Summary Appraisal Report, who include Jeff Barta, Lee Burns, Tom Cryer, Jay Delich, Patricia Donovon, Joe Minnich, Jeffrey Otteau and Arnold Schwartz. (Note: The past RAC members have left the relocation appraisal business for other opportunities.)

RAC Member and Past President Chip Wagner is Worldwide ERC'S representative to The Appraisal Foundation Advisory Council (TAFAC).

Other RAC members have served Worldwide ERC in many capacities including its:

  • Board of Directors
  • Industry Advisory Council
  • Appraisal Advisors
  • Certification Review Board
  • National Relocation Conference Planning Committee
  • Mobility Magazine Editorial Advisory Committee

Most of all, RAC members recognize that the quest for excellence is a continual process. Despite having already distinguished themselves in the relocation industry, they continually strive for ways to further improve the services they provide.

Purpose Statement
Relocation Appraisers and Consultants, (RAC), is the recognized authority for providing education, research, advocacy and standards for the relocation appraiser, their clients, and all the parties who rely on accurate residential property valuation to support the employee relocation process.

Our Point of Differentiation
What distinguishes RAC from all other appraisal organizations is our exclusive focus on relocation appraising and consulting, the fact that the majority of our organizational activities are devoted to education, research, and client outreach, and the fact that each of our select group of members is considered the relocation appraisal experts in their respective markets.
