RR 013 - Alex Massa: Finding the Value in Today’s Real Estate Market

Season 1 Episode 13

This week, we talk all things appraisal with AppraisalMC’s Alex Massa.  Alex started in the appraisal industry in college and eventually launched his own Appraisal Management Company.  Alex has a unique perspective and expertise as a licensed appraiser and also the CEO of a prominent AMC.  We cover a lot of topics including appraiser independence, who can speak to an appraiser, reconsideration of value, a day in the life of an appraiser, appraisal gaps, and the new desktop appraisals.  We also compare today’s real estate market with the bubble market in 2008.

AppraisalMC is a brother-sister duo.  Alex and Mariella Massa saw the housing market’s need to improve the appraisal process. They began their careers in the appraisal industry while in college and saw great opportunity to do things different and better. The siblings partnered to build their first appraisal company in 2005, Initech Appraisals, which eventually led to the growth of Appraisal MC in 2010. Appraisal MC is now one of the largest independently owned nationwide appraisal companies in the industry.
