Success Stories

Recent accomplishments from local and national efforts include:

State level

  • In-class vs. Online Education Requirements
    The State of Tennessee Real Estate Appraiser Commission contemplated rules changes which would have allowed all continuing education to be taken online; as opposed to 14 hours in-class and 14 hours online. Members of the Chapter attended the TREAC Board meeting and voiced their concerns regarding diminution of quality, reduction of interaction/relationship building, etc. The proposed rule change failed and the rules were left unchanged.
