I would like to introduce to you the very first post on the brand new Allied Appraisal Blog!
First allow me to introduce myself. My name is John T. Peculis. I am a second generation Real Estate Appraiser. I have had real estate running through my veins for as long as I can remember. I recall going on “photo shoots” with my dad as early as 10 (when he was a real estate broker) and worked my way up to being his assistant when I was 13 (and he had transitioned into appraisal work). It was then that I caught the fever. I can’t really pinpoint what gets me so excited about it… perhaps it’s the fact that they just aren’t making any more if it (land, that is)… perhaps it’s that a real estate purchase is generally considered the largest investment an individual will make in his or her life, and in the case of commercial/industrial, it is usually the largest investment a company will make. There’s something about that immensity. There’s also the analysis… the statistics… the research… it all get’s me going. Add in all of the interesting people you meet and flexible work schedule, and you’ll start to ask yourself: what could be better than this?!
So here we are: a successful mid-sized appraisal firm in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. We appraise commercial, residential, and industrial real estate throughout all of Massachusetts… and we have been doing so for 30 years now.
I plan to post to this blog once a week, FAITHFULLY. We are going to discuss the state of the local real estate market, town by town trends, local and national news affecting both the profession and owners alike, and try to have fun doing so. I hope to entertain and inform at the same time. And of course, I welcome any and all feedback and/or conversation.
