Megan Judd, SRA-owner/certified residential appraiser
"If knowledge is power, then I need to know everything there is to know about our market."
With over three decades of experience appraising properties throughout Central Florida, Megan Johnson Judd, SRA brings unparalleled expertise and local market insight to every valuation assignment. As founder and principal of her own appraisal firm since 2001, she has established herself as a trusted authority in residential property valuation and a court-appointed expert witness.
Megan's commitment to excellence is reflected in her continuous professional development through the Appraisal Institute, where she serves multiple leadership roles including newsletter editor for the East Florida Chapter and participation on national project teams. Her expertise extends beyond traditional appraisal work through her creation and management of the Appraisal Basics Facebook community, which has grown to over 9,000 members and serves as a valuable resource for industry professionals.
As a sought-after speaker and educator, Megan regularly shares her knowledge with real estate professionals, legal associations, and community organizations. Her presentations to the Orange County Bar Association, Central Florida Bankruptcy Law Association, and Orlando Regional Realtor Association demonstrate her ability to communicate complex valuation concepts to diverse audiences.

Her analytical expertise is complemented by active community involvement, including past leadership roles in local educational and architectural preservation organizations. She has contributed to various community initiatives, including Come Out With Pride-Orlando, Devereux of Florida, and the Audubon Park Garden District.
When not advancing the appraisal profession or serving clients, Megan can be found exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains, enjoying Florida's natural habitats, or adventuring in her vintage 1985 Airstream with her family. This balance of professional excellence and personal passion allows her to bring a unique perspective and authentic approach to her work in real estate valuation.
