Salam of Boston Appraisal Services earns SRA designation

Malden, MA Adnan Salam has been awarded the Appraisal Institute’s SRA membership designation, which is held by appraisers who are experienced in the valuation and evaluation of residential properties. The designation was granted in September and Salam was honored during a meeting of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Chapter of the Appraisal Institute. By receiving the SRA designation, Salam has joined a group of appraisers who have met professional requirements relating to education, testing, experience and demonstration of knowledge, understanding and ability.

Salam is a certified residential real estate appraiser from Boston. He operates his own company, Boston Appraisal Services which provides appraisal services for national and local banks in the state. Graduating in 2007 with a degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Salam has been working as an appraiser for 10 years.

He founded his company in 2011, the year he obtained his certified residential certification and has since worked towards obtaining his SRA designation. Currently he is working towards obtaining his certified general certification and his next goal would be to earn his MAI designation.

The SRA designation is received upon the completion of an undergraduate-level curriculum, which includes a comprehensive exam, a written demonstration appraisal report and attaining 3,000 hours of qualifying experience requirements.
