Pros

Argianas has seen 6 of its appraisers earn their MAI designations over the past 7 years. The pay is a base plus incentive, most appraisers easily make at least $75,000 +/Year. The firm has an excellent reputation and it's services are credible and respected throughout the financial community. Benefits include PPO health insurance, life insurance, and 401k matching.

Cons

The hours are long and hard as seen throughout the real estate appraisal industry. Some Argianas colleagues earn in excess of $150,000/ Year but at the cost of long hours and attentiveness to detail.

Compensation levels for Argianas appraisers easily exceeds those of our competitors. We work longer/harder hours than most others & do whatever it takes to meet and exceed client expecations. Our professionals receive base salaries with full benefits. Quarterly bonuses are earned & paid out based upon one's performance.

Pros

The practice from 5 years ago has completely pivoted. New services offered, new hires, new admin/direction, a complete 180 from the direction previously.

Cons

If we have problems, we voice them, admin hears us out, and often there are changes. There are cons periodically but the attempt to correct them and that matters to me, I don't want to be stuck somewhere without change or growth

Pros

-Flexible working schedule -The boss has a very good knowledge of the field that I haven't experienced at other firms -Willingness to teach us/be a leader -Listens to constructive criticism/adapts -Offers more responsibility if you are up for it

Cons

-It's not downtown and I do miss that life (although not the commute). -It does take awhile to become an MAI, although Mr. Argianas has helped where I don't think I would have had the opportunity otherwise. -If you're just starting out, expect a few months to a year before you can begin to reach higher earning potential. -High standard for report writing which I did not experience at other companies.

Real estate appraisal and consulting is a very tough profession. It takes years to hone ones skills to high levels. We honestly try our very best in good faith to provide "true to the process" services. Respect for our employees and meeting client expectations are our highest priorties. Charles Argianas, JD, MAI, President.
