Warren Boizot, SRA, AI-RRS

Warren Boizot, SRA, AI-RRS, has been a Certified Residential Appraiser in the Denver Metro area for 26 years, and a Designated Member of the Appraisal Institute for just over 10 of those years. He is very active at the Colorado Chapter of the Appraisal Institute, as the 2021 Chapter President and is very involved with numerous committees such as the Chair of the new “Residential Topics and Solutions Committee” and an active member of both Government Relations and Education Committees.

Warren enjoys living in, and appraising in downtown Denver, close to his favorite property type, high-rise luxury condos, (Warren has been known to ride his electric scooter to inspections).

When not appraising, Boizot is a self-proclaimed fitness junkie and gym rat, who moonlights by teaching indoor-rowing and group fitness classes. He thrives on travel with favorite destinations being Thailand, Tokyo, Vietnam, and Iceland. He admittedly watches and knows way too much about bad reality television, and no, this Coloradan does not snowboard or ski!
