An Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) in the American Society of Appraisers, Ronald M. Gold, is the past (1999-2000) president of the Society's New York City Chapter. Mr. Gold currently serves the Society as the Chapter's "liaison to the Legal Community." A member of the internationally esteemed Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, Mr. Gold is an active commercial and residential real estate appraiser working primarily in Manhattan.

A popular teacher and lecturer, he is a guest Lecturer at Baruch College of CUNY since 2010 and an instructor for the Greater Harlem Real Estate Board. Mr. Gold is also an Approved Independent Contractor for the Internal Revenue Service on Undervalued Estates, Federal CAGE #6YB18.

Ron Gold's intimate knowledge of New York City real estate -- from commercial loft buildings to single family townhouses, from cooperative and condominium apartments to mixed use store & apartment buildings, from United Nations missions to diplomatic consulates -- makes him the ideal real estate appraiser for commercial as well as residential properties, and is the reason why he is frequently called on to teach and to serve as an expert appraisal witness. After natural disasters and catastrophes — hurricanes, floods, fires, etc. — Mr. Gold is New York's go-to appraiser for loss and damage appraisals for insurance claims and IRS deductions.

And Ron is not just a New York phenomenon. As M.O. of Pittsburgh PA wrote recently: "It's great that your testimony and evidence is admissable in several state and federal courts. You're my Ace in the Hole!"
