I am pleased to announce that Liz Bayne has earned the status of Certified General Real Estate Appraiser in Vermont.
The requirements to become a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser are daunting. They include 300 classroom hours in a rigorous training program developed by the Appraisal Qualifications Board, a board of The Appraisal Foundation, and administered by the individual states. Another requirement is 3,000 hours of supervised appraisal practice. The applicant must also pass a comprehensive final examination, in addition to tests in the various training sessions.
Liz completed her course work and passed the comprehensive exam last fall. This week she completed the final step in the process, which was the acceptance of her appraisal practice hours by the Vermont Board of Real Estate Appraisers.
Liz has advised Farm Credit customers on complex tax issues for more than 30 years. She is a Farm Credit Tax Specialist and an IRS Enrolled Agent. Her appraisal expertise together with her tax expertise present a unique combination that we hope will benefit Farm Credit customers for many years to come.
Special thanks to Vice President/Director-Appraisal Services Geoff Yates for mentoring Liz during her appraiser trainee period.
Congratulations, Liz, on this significant accomplishment!
