John Karmelich, MAI is an entertaining, dynamic and knowledgeable speaker that never fails to deliver. A combination of years of real estate experience as an appraiser, realtor, and investor, coupled together with a good attitude to get things done as quickly as possible, John is as energetic on stage, as he is empathetic towards realtors and other real estate professionals in general.
Well aware of how brutal it is to sit in an audience, listening to some ‘expert’ clamor on, nearly putting their audience to sleep; John makes sure to keep things entertaining and interactive, by keeping all of his presentations up-to-date as well as interactive with the attendees.
Training with a Slice of Humor
By the time attendees are done digesting his presentation, they genuinely have something of great value to take away, and more importantly, to take action on – holding themselves accountable to actually making the most out of the investment they made in attending.
Highly aware of the balance needed to keep people informed and entertained at the same time, John injects a light-hearted approach with his sessions and injects a little humor whenever possible.

If I wasn’t an appraiser, I’m pretty sure I’d be a teacher. I love to speak to groups about what I do or what appraisals do. One of the topics I love to give to commercial brokers and estate attorneys is not only how to pick an appraiser but also how to “criticize” when the numbers aren’t working. I love to give tips on what to say and not say to an appraiser before, during or after the process is completed. I also speak on how to find an appraiser. Feel free to contact me if interested.
