McKissock successfully launches its first online course experience, setting an exciting new path for the company. For the first time, a licensed appraiser signed up for a course online, completed the course, and printed the certificate without ever having to leave the comfort of their own home.
May 1993
Legislation mandates appraisal education requirements
The Savings and Loans Crisis bailout legislation results in new requirements for appraisers, requiring them to get state licensing and/or certification and to take continuing education courses to keep their license active. Ready to serve, McKissock offered its first appraisal continuing education seminar on the topic of multiple linear regression analysis in good ole Pittsburgh, PA.
1991
McKissock founded
Father and son duo Richard McKissock and Matt McKissock initiate a discussion about the practical application of using statistical analysis to appraise properties. They go on to design cutting-edge software and content for a course they call, “Multiple Linear Regression Analysis: The Approach of the Future.”
This would become the first course offered by McKissock.
