WE Appraise Real Estate the correct way the only way
How do I become an appraiser?
To become a State Licensed, Certified Residential or Certified General appraiser requires a specific amount of education and experience along with the successful completion of a comprehensive State administered examination.
In order to thoroughly research what is required to become a professional appraiser, we suggest you begin by familiarizing yourself with the laws and regulations of your State. The Appraisal Foundation provides information on finding a mentor/supervisor as well as information on the federally mandated minimum requirements.
It is not within the Appraisal Subcommittee’s authority to regulate individual appraisers and/or to establish educational or mentoring options. A few State Appraiser Regulatory Agencies have established trainee programs with specific experience opportunities. You may check to see if you are in a State that offers this type of service.
