Meet Yankee's Newest Certified General Appraiser-Nate Goddard


Nate Goddard, out of Yankee’s St. Albans, VT office, has been granted a Certified General Appraiser license by the Vermont Board of Real Estate Appraisers, allowing him to appraise all types of real property.  Nate was hired as an Appraiser Trainee in 2013.

The process of obtaining a certified general license is lengthy and extensive, requiring about three years of designated study, testing and supervised practical experience. Each course taken to meet the requirements has a test and there is one BIG test at the end.  The field experience requires supervision and guidance from an experienced Certified General Appraiser and several appraisal reports are selected by the Board for review prior to issuing a license. While this process is long and rigorous it does produce well trained appraisers which is a definite advantage for the appraiser, for the profession and for Yankee.

Nate grew up on a dairy farm in Orwell, VT.  He got his BA from University of Vermont and continues to live in the Burlington area.  Nate has excellent dairy industry knowledge and is capable of handling the valuation of the largest and most complex dairies in the region.  He has also developed a high level of knowledge in the maple industry.  We congratulate Nate for his accomplishment and wish him every success in his career.  We’re proud Nate is part of Yankee’s appraisal team!
