📣 REAA Attends BREA Town Hall Meeting

On September 9th, REAA proudly attended the BREA Town Hall Meeting in Sacramento—represented by Vicki Keeler (Corporate Education Chair), Joe Lynch (Past Corporate President), John Dingeman, and Jim Glickman. Our Corporate President, Lou Rusert, also participated virtually.

This event provided an important forum for appraisers and stakeholders to share input on key topics shaping the future of our profession, including:

✅ Enhancing access to licensure
✅ Strengthening the supervisory pathway
✅ Exploring alternative entry and career growth opportunities
✅ Evaluating California’s mandatory vs. non-mandatory status
✅ Reviewing enforcement statutes and regulatory alignment with USPAP
✅ Improving AMC regulation
✅ Enhancing communication with stakeholders and the public

REAA members appreciated the opportunity to participate and encouraged BREA to continue hosting sessions that invite collaboration and constructive dialogue.

While BREA clarified this meeting was intended to gather input—not to respond to comments, the discussion surfaced several important themes that REAA will continue to explore through upcoming education and advocacy initiatives.

📬 Stay informed: All appraisers are encouraged to subscribe to BREA’s mailing list for future updates, notices, and opportunities to share feedback that helps strengthen our profession.

We have a great speaker lined up, John Tiner of Tiner Real Estate Services--a property management company founded in 1986.

He'll be addressing the impact on California's rent control laws and the Tenant Protection Act, as limitations on rent increases and eviction restricts can significantly impact market value.

We'll also learn to analyze below market rents and navigate reliable data sources.

This class not just for appraisers. If you know of an agent or investor that may benefit from this topic, please forward them the link below.
