Southern NJ Appraisal Institute holds Residential Roundtable 2024

On Thursday, May 2, the chapter held its first Residential Roundtable in the Lager Loft at Bonesaw Brewing Company in Glassboro, NJ. Thirty-five people attended this 4 hour seminar, which was followed by a “happy hour” of networking, food and drinks.

The presentations included:

• Richard Negro and Deborah Peacock (HUD)

• Matt Carelli (AnnieMac)

• Michael J. Pratico, Jr., AI-GRS (Columbia Bank)

• Michael J. Acquaro-Mignogna, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS

• Eugene A. Soda, Jr., (WSFS Bank)

• Walt Krzywicki, MAI, AI-GRS (WSFS Bank)

There was a lot of information presented, and it went very quickly --- there was little time between the speakers and the conversation never stopped!

Overall feedback after the event is excellent, and we look forward to holding another event like this in the future. The chapter thanks Maria Nucci, SRA, AI-RRS, for all of her hard work on this successful event.
