Schnell awarded the SRA designation
One of the greatest pleasures of being a chapter president of the Appraisal Institute is the announcement and awarding of a "designation" to a fellow member. I am proud to announced the award of the SRA designation to Jennifer Schnell, SRA of East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Most sincere congratulations to Jennifer!
This accomplishment requires dedication and determination! Obtaining a "Trainee License" in RI (1996) is just the beginning. Then the hard work begins for further education, experience and testing to become a Certified Residential Appraiser (2001).
Schnell knew from the "get-go" she wanted to earn a designation from the Appraisal Institute. More educational hours, more experience credits and an approved Demonstration Appraisal Report in accordance with the Appraisal Institutes standards have been completed successfully.
On April 18th Schnell will "officially" receive her SRA Certificate from the Appraisal Institute International president Joseph Magdziarz, MAI, SRA.
The International president will be in Rhode Island on April 18th and 19th to teach the mandatory "Appraisal Curriculum Overview" course for all Institute members.
William McGovern, SRA, is president, Rhode Island Chapter of the Appraisal Institute.

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein
Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
The 2024 CRE markets: “The Ups” (industrial) and “The Downs” (Boston class B/C office) - by Webster Collins
The industrial markets have never been stronger. What has happened is that the build out of Devens with new high-tech biotech manufacturing with housing to service these buildings serves as the connector required to really make the I-495 West market sizzle. Worcester has been the beneficiary
