May 1993
Legislation mandates appraisal education requirements
The Savings and Loans Crisis bailout legislation results in new requirements for appraisers, requiring them to get state licensing and/or certification and to take continuing education courses to keep their license active. Ready to serve, McKissock offered its first appraisal continuing education seminar on the topic of multiple linear regression analysis in good ole Pittsburgh, PA.
1990
McKissock founded
Father and son duo Richard McKissock and Matt McKissock initiate a discussion about the practical application of using statistical analysis to appraise properties. They go on to design cutting-edge software and content for a course they call, “Multiple Linear Regression Analysis: The Approach of the Future.”
This would become the first course offered by McKissock.

I moved to Charlotte over 16 years ago and immediately fell in love with this town’s diversity. I enjoy attending local marketing and musical events. In my spare time a few of my hobbies include writing, cooking, and hiking. My family’s favorite thing to do here is to take a weekend trip to the North Carolina mountains for a little rest and relaxation.
Charlotte conveniently offers the luxury of uptown living as well as quiet mountain retreats, coupled with all four seasons which allows many people to enjoy. Charlotte is becoming well known for its job opportunities, sports, and downtown living, which is great for the work hard, play hard lifestyle. This makes Charlotte the perfect home.
One of the things I love most about being a real estate professional is getting to meet new and exciting people every day. From first time home buyers to relocating from another state, you never know what a day in the office will bring.
Being in the real estate business for the past 11 years I understand that the needs and wants of every client can be different. I am respective of these things because I know buying and selling a home is a sensitive and large commitment.
As a Student Instructor here at Superior School of Real Estate, I enjoy what I do and would love to help you get started in your Real Estate career.

I was born in Upstate, NY, and raised in Winston-Salem. I attended RJ Reynolds High School and obtained my degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I have been a Charlotte resident full-time since 1981, but my family has lived in the area since 1969. . Watching this city and region grow has been rewarding and illuminating. I have only two professions in life, Restaurants and Real Estate. My life has been filled with making people happy since I was 16. Food, drinks, and homes. I started my real estate career working for a new home builder in 1999. I am a full Broker in NC and SC, with Broker-in-Charge qualifications in both states. In 2020 I started a Real Estate School – Learn More Institute of Real Estate – to give back to the industry and its hard-working agents. My inspiration came from my maternal grandmother and her children. My mother and her sister. My grandmother was a career educator in a local high school. Her experience and motivation continue to shine through me today. I enjoy spending time with my wife, reading, cooking, and playing golf when not working.
John FitzGerald stands out in the real estate industry as a true leader that brings value to agents in the North Carolina market that few can match. Having lived in the Piedmont region since 1969, his knowledge of the local market is vast, but it’s his love of molding Realtors into top producers that set him apart from the crowd.
As a practicing BIC, John honed unique skills for identifying strengths and talents within his agents that allowed many to achieve a level of success they never imagined possible. His varied experience in the food service industry, new construction, general brokerage, sales management, and leadership roles in real estate lent to his ability to relate with all personality types at a high level and advise agents in diverse matters they may encounter while growing their businesses.
His background in management and leadership, coupled with inspiration from his grandmother, a lifelong Gaston County educator, led John into his current role as a North Carolina Real Estate Commission Licensed Instructor. His passion to help others is evident in his interactions with all agents, whether newly licensed or industry veterans, in the classroom and beyond. Learning the Superior way is John’s commitment.
Certified in SUCCESS® Coaching™, Napoleon Hill, Brian Buffini, and Ninja Coaching curricula, his approach to agent education is all-encompassing. Becoming an Instructor with Superior School of Real Estate was born of John’s desire to give back to the industry and its hard-working agents, allowing him the opportunity to share wisdom gained from over 20 years of experience in real estate with his students and impact their success in business and life.

Tricia is an attorney who began her law practice in the early 1980s in Ohio, initially as a staff attorney with the Toledo Legal Aid Society and then as a Referee in the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas, Family Court Division. She returned to North Carolina in 1987, was admitted to the NC State Bar in August 1987, and practiced family law until 1999.
Tricia left private practice in September 1999 to accept a position in the NC Real Estate Commission’s Education & Licensing Division as the first Legal Education Officer, serving in that capacity for more than 18 years and learning from luminaries such as Larry Outlaw, Blackwell Brogden, Tom Miller, and Miriam Baer. As Legal Education Officer, she helped create the educational materials for the Commission’s annual Update/BICAR courses and was a co-author of the Commission’s NC Real Estate Manual, the approved text for the Commission’s post-license courses. She also created the educational materials for the Commission’s Broker-in-Charge course, oversaw its administration, and taught the course at various locations around the state from 2000 through 2017.
Tricia thoroughly enjoys sharing her knowledge with others and learning from them. She was well received as an instructor in the BIC Course by brokers across NC, whether the original 4.5 hour version or the 12-hour version. Students and instructors frequently comment that Tricia has an uncanny ability to explain complex concepts in simple, understandable terms, whether orally or in writing.
