I am familiar with them. There are individually owned shops that specializes in Real Estate Appraisals. They started out in Westwood by Kevin Nunnik (deceased) but I think his son works for the firm. They have several MAIs designated appraisers with analyst doing the work. Split fee is around 30-45% with bonus structure based on experience or if you bring the job in. Nice company to work for if you wanted to get experience in different asset class.
Not a bad place to start to get valuation knowledge. Make sure its a smaller office so you don't get stuck writing market reports for 2 years.
Thanks for the input. Do you guys have any info/guesses as to starting analyst salary and exit opps?
do not expect more than 50k for entry level
What are some exit opps that could come from having worked for a firm like Integra? I'm ideally wanting to get into REPE/IB down the line. Would valuation experience gained there make someone a viable candidate? Is there a lot of networking that goes on between a firm like this and firms in other aspects of the industry?
bump! I appreciate you previous guys' input!
i think a lot of people just want to jump ship to some bigger firms like JLL and CBRE.
It's possible. If you went top MBA you could switch over after. Probably unlikely beforehand. You can definitely jump to brokerage or debt from valuation work though.
CRE Analyst at Integra Realty Resources (Originally Posted: 10/28/2013)
Hello,
Does anyone have any insights on working as a CRE Analyst at Integra Realty Resources?
Worked with the Miami team this past summer. They're appraisers. Cool group of people to work with in my case, and learned a lot as far as research and intro to different software, etc
I've used the firm with mixed results. If you are dead set on being an appraiser then go for it. I work with a few underwriters who were previously appraisers and made the jump to CRE finance after 5-10 years (conversely I do not know of any underwriters or VP's that have made the switch to appraisals so that should tell you something). IMO you'd be better served starting at a JLL, CBRE, Berkadia, Wells, etc..
Thanks for the inputs, guys. Brothesda, can you name a few job titles in CRE finance field that are related to residential or commercial appraisers? Also, if I want to make that "jump" into the CRE finance, what kind of qualifications or background do I need to have?
