Jason Tillema, SRA, AI-RRS
Jason graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Entrepreneurship in 1997 and joined Tillema & Associates as a trainee to begin his appraisal career. He has concentrated primarily on residential valuations and has performed assignments ranging from simple home equity to complex residential properties and litigation assignments. The complex residential assignments have included various “trophy” homes in the Indianapolis and surrounding markets.
He understands the importance of being involved in the real estate industry. In 2004-2005, he became more active in the Appraisal Institute; earning the SRA designation in 2009 and the AI-RRS designation in 2016. One of the many benefits derived from membership in the organization is the opportunity to serve and become involved with the issues surrounding the appraisal industry.
He has served on several Appraisal Institute Hoosier State Chapter committees including serving as the Chair for a few of the committees. The most rewarding experience was serving as Secretary, Vice-President, and President (2014). On the Appraisal Institute Region level, he has served as the HSC Regional Representative in 2010-2011 and will serve in the same capacity in 2018-2019. During his time serving on the region level, he was part of the Region V Nominating Committee in 2011 and 2012.
In September of 2014 he attended the Appraisal Institute’s Instructor Leadership & Development Conference. Since the conference, he has been approved to instruct several of the Appraisal Institute courses and seminars. In addition, he has developed several seminars for the local chapter. The time spent in the classroom with his peers and time serving on the leadership team and Region has provided me a better understanding of the intricacies of a professional organization and the needs and concerns of its members.
Teaching experience extends beyond courses and seminars for the Appraisal Institute. Jason is also part owner of Education Resources, LLC. The company provides continuing education for real estate appraiser and broker licenses. He has developed several State-approved courses and instructs on a regular basis.
As a member of the local Realtor organization (MIBOR), he served as the Appraiser Representative on the Board of Directors from 2014 through 2016. Jason also served on the BLC Policy Committee, the Political Action Committee (Chair in 2010), and the Personnel Committee. He participated and graduated from MIBOR’s Real Estate Academy of Leadership (REAL) program in 2010.
