About Robert C. Gorman, MAI

Bob Gorman is a native of Chicago's Southside and now resides in the Village of Frankfort with his wife Margaret.  He has two adult (well, almost adult) children, Kevin and Colleen.  Margaret is a recently retired (at a very early age) school teacher and Kevin is a CPA. Kevin recently moved out of the family house and ... since he got his own mortgage, he is not expected back. Colleen (a former Big 10 swimmer at the University of Illinois) is now in Law School and she is finally learning how to study

In addition to running his appraisal practice, Bob serves on many boards and commissions. Relating to real esate appraisal, he is a member of the State of Illinois Apraisal Licensing Board, a member of the Appraisal Foundation advisory committee.  Theses positions give him the opportunity to study the laws impacting appraisers on a national basis as well as within Illinois.  He is currently involved in rewriting the Illinois Real Esate Appraisal Act.  He is also the president of the Illinois Chapter of the American Guild of Appraisers - an AFL-CIO affiliated union.

He is also involved in many community activities.  He is the treasurer of the local library, serves on the Board of Trustees for the Homewood-Flossmoor High School Foundation, and is on the advisory board for the Juvenile Diabetes division of LaRabida Children's Hospital (division of University of Chicago Hospital). 

Unfortunately, none of those positions pay.
