“Unlike other much larger organizations, RAC is small but very powerful. The size allows all RAC members to get to know 100% of the other members if they so choose. You will find that some of the sharpest and most innovative appraisers belong to RAC. I have never been told “I don’t have time” by another RAC member when I have reached out for help. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to be selected to assemble and lead a team of appraisers in a very large lawsuit with cases that spanned the country. My “go to” database was the RAC directory. Getting to read those reports and discuss the individual properties with RAC appraisers all over the country was equivalent of getting a graduate degree. Certainly not all RAC appraisers specialize in litigation work but if that is in your future, you need to look into RAC!!”

“For me, it’s the networking with peers who are doing work beyond traditional lender work. When I started in this profession, I only dealt with lenders and AMCs. However, to be successful in this profession, you have to expand your client base and skillset. My good friend and peer, Craig Gilbert, reached out and asked if I would like to be a member of RAC. RAC is more than just relocation work. There are complex assignments that go beyond the traditional lender/AMC appraisal. There are so many opportunities out here in this profession if one just looks beyond lender/AMC work.”

“As a residential valuation consultant and expert witness, the training, education, and collaboration from other RAC members has been invaluable to my career over the years. With a focus on real analysis and because of the excellent training provided by the organization, both of which put me in a position to provide supportable appraisals and elevated my skills as an expert witness.”

Back in 2023 I was watching the appraiser E-Learning podcast that featured RAC member and back then current Vice President Lisa Meinczinger-Gulden. Lisa was promoting RAC for not only it's Relocation side but also for complex assignments along with litigation support and review work. She had mentioned their upcoming annual conference in October and I reached out to ask if I could attend even though I was not a member and she said absolutely.
Fast forward and not only did I attend the 2023 conference but also attended the 2024 and 2025 conference. I ended up submitting my application and became a new member in October 2025. I am not a Relocation appraiser but do complete larger luxury property appraisals along with custom horse properties and vacant land acreage.
What I truly like about RAC are it's members, who were very welcoming to a new individual to RAC. This smaller group of appraisers are truly some of the most knowledgeable and well respected appraisers in the industry. You can always reach out to any RAC member/appraiser with questions if your working on a complex appraisal or looking for feedback. RAC appraisers uphold the appraisal industry in high regard and truly advocate the credentials and professionalism a RAC appraiser provides.
