DALE A. SWIFT  MAI   

After college and a four-year stint in the Air Force in the late 1960s, Dale began his career in real estate as a mortgage loan officer with a savings and loan association in Roanoke, Virginia. After reviewing real estate appraisals for mortgage loan purposes, he then joined a leading appraisal firm in Roanoke and began his appraisal career. A few years later, he relocated to his home state of North Carolina to continue appraising real estate and in 1979, he joined John McCracken & Associates, Inc. He earned his MAI designation in 1980.

For well over 30 years, Dale has been a mainstay of the commercial and eminent domain appraisal staff of JMA. In the early years, he traveled the United States appraising large institutional properties including apartment complexes, business parks, shopping centers, and individual office buildings. In those days, clients were primarily syndicators, insurance companies, and pension funds. Since the late 1990s, Dale's concentration has shifted entirely to eminent domain appraisals for highway and electrical power line acquisitions.
