Rob Guay - Appraiser

I am pleased to announce that Rob Guay 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.

Rob completed his course work last fall and passed the comprehensive exam in January. On April 4th he completed the final step in the process, which was the acceptance of his appraisal practice hours by the Vermont Board of Real Estate Appraisers.

Rob started working for Yankee Farm Credit in the summer of 2008 and became an appraiser trainee in November 2008. He worked hard to become a licensed appraiser in just over three years.

Rob joins Liz Bayne and Geoff Yates as licensed appraisers in Yankee’s Appraisal Department. Special thanks to Vice President/Director-Appraisal Services Geoff Yates for mentoring Rob during his appraiser trainee period.

Congratulations, Rob, on this significant accomplishment!
