I left a lucrative consulting career to become a successful residential appraiser, thanks to A.R.E.A. Not only did they teach me everything I needed to know, but taught me to recognize these things in real world settings, and enabled me to know what & how to correctly translate the knowledge and the data into credible, sound appraisals. Beginning as a Registered appraiser, I became a Certified Residential Appraiser in the minimum time required by the state. I passed every test and every state Board exam with a "A", and am now Certified in 3 states. I have numerous other appraisers call me as their "expert" because they've come to trust my level of knowledge as being superior to theirs. Additionally, A.R.E.A. enable me to secure and retain a large stable of the top lenders, nationally. Thank you A.R.E.A. You changed my life for the best !Bill Flemister,
