Morgan earns appraisal designation
Real estate appraiser Cal Morgan, of JC Morgan Company, has been awarded the AI-GRS (General Review Specialist) designation by the Appraisal Institute. This designation, according to a recent release by the company, is held by real estate appraisers who are experienced in commercial real estate appraisal review.
 
“By receiving the AI-GRS designation, Mr. Morgan has joined an elite group of appraisers who have met rigorous professional requirements relating to education, testing, experience, understanding and ability. Also, designees agree to abide by the Appraisal Institute’s Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and Code of Professional Ethics,” the release stated.
 
The professional appraisal review designation program was developed in response to “the growing and critically important role that appraisal review plays in risk management and mitigation for many clients/users of appraisal services,” the release stated.
 
Morgan opened JC Morgan’s Wilmington office in 2010. The firm also has a location in Charlotte, according to its website.
