Candidate for Board of Directors member:
M. Curtis West of Appraisal Schools by M. Curtis West, Inc.

I am certified general appraiser, residing in Zebulon, NC (about 20 miles east of Raleigh – in Wake County). My company name is Appraisal Schools by M. Curtis West, Inc. While still in the U.S. Air Force, (in 1966; fifty years ago – where have they gone?), I became a licensed real estate salesman in the state of Ohio. After receiving an honorable discharge from the U.S.A.F in 1968 and returning to North Carolina, I became a NC licensed real estate salesman (in early 1969). After a few years as a real estate salesman and novice real estate appraiser, I became a real estate appraiser – working mostly with a mass appraisal company that conducted general reappraisal services for various county property tax jurisdictions. In 1971, I was employed by Union County, NC, as a commercial real estate appraiser. In 1972, my boss (Tom Haywood, Union County Assessor) told me about and encouraged me to apply for a newly created job with the NC State Board of Assessment (now, the Property Tax Division of the NC Department of Revenue). With Tom’s encouragement and endorsement, in 1972 I became a property tax valuation specialist, employed by the State Board of Assessment. While still working with the State Board of Assessment, Charles W. Bradshaw, MAI, asked me to come and work with him (at about double the salary I received as a state employee). By this time I was a NC licensed real estate broker, an associate member of the AIREA, and a candidate for the MAI designation. Charlie Bradshaw was a Charter Member of Chapter 40 of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (he and his daughter, Betsy Anne, became the first father-daughter team of MAI’s in the U.S.). After working with Charlie Bradshaw for a couple of years, I started my own business in 1978, as a real estate appraiser and property tax consultant.

Fast forward till 1989-1991: In 1989, FIRREA (otherwise known as the savings and loan bailout bill) was signed into law. The North Carolina Appraisers Act became effective in 1991, and I became a state certified general real estate appraiser on January 1, 1991. Appraiser certification was then optional; but I wanted to be certified and continue my chosen career as professional real estate appraiser (FIRREA, among other things, recognized appraisal as a profession). Soon after receiving my certification, I applied for, and received, approval by the NCAB, as a residential and general real estate appraisal instructor. Before being certified, Doug Winner and had I attended a course together that gave prospective state certified appraisers some idea of what to expect on the state certification exam (while at this course someone said the NCAB would soon be accepting applications to be approved appraisal instructors). Doug and I met and became friends about 20 years earlier, while attending Chapter meetings of the AIREA (attendance was then mandatory for MAI candidates). Not long after getting approval as an appraisal instructor, Baldy Williams called and asked if I would be willing to teach appraisal courses for his school which is now, Triangle Appraisal School. At that time, no one knew that Baldy, Doug, and I would later work together to start the North Carolina Professional Appraisers Coalition (NCPAC).

In early 2002, recognizing a need for an organization, dedicated to serving the collective interest of all North Carolina professional appraisers, the three of us (Baldy, Doug, and I) joined together in discussions about how to organize NCPAC. We each wanted to “give back to” and help the profession that had rewarded us in the past. Before NCPAC, it was often difficult to find other appraisers that were willing to help (rather than compete) when you needed information, advice, or assistance in your appraisal practice. It did not take long to realize that, by helping other NC professional appraisers, you are helping yourself as a NC professional appraiser. Since 2002, we have each continued our service to NCPAC.

Now, I respectfully ask for your vote so that I can continue to serve NCPAC as Board of Directors member.
