What exactly does an appraiser do?
An appraiser inspects real property (land and/or structures) to estimate
an accurate value and verify the condition of the property and its improvements. An appraiser must have in-depth knowledge of building techniques, geography,
finance, and economics to arrive at a representative value of the appraised
property. In order to secure a bank loan, the property must have an appraisal
by a licensed appraiser.
What kind of jobs can an appraiser qualify for?
Appraisers often work for themselves, but also work for mortgage firms, real estate
brokers, lenders, corporations, and government agencies. Anyone investing
in real estate needs accurate and concise information describing the property,
its condition, and its value.
Real estate appraisal is an excellent additional skill for real estate salespeople, brokers,
home inspectors, or other professionals who deal in the real estate industry.
Why should I take a distance education course instead of a live class?
Distance learning allows you to take the class when YOU HAVE THE TIME! You
don't need to hurry to a classroom after a hard day's work. With Allied's
courses you don't need to worry about parking, baby-sitting fees, extra
gas, and hours of wasted time. You may take up to a year to complete Allied's
appraisal course in your spare time. Allied's student service department
is always there to provide help if you need it!
Why should I learn appraisal from Allied Appraisal School?
In California, the Office of Real Estate Appraisal (O.R.E.A.) does not accept
distance education courses unless those courses meet specific requirements.
To meet these requirements, Allied's appraisal courses have been reviewed
by the American Council on Education's College Recommendation Service
(formerly ACE/PONSI) and these courses have been recommended for college
credits. That recommendation allows Allied to provide these courses
to you via distance education. Therefore, Allied's appraisal courses
have been approved by O.R.E.A. and meet the minimum standards set by the
national Appraiser Qualification Board (AQB).
The Allied family has been in education and publishing since 1979 and offers a full-time
student service department with Internet, fax, and e-mail capabilities.
With this assistance, along with our trained counselors, help is only
a phone call away.
Allied Appraisal School has the most up-to-date materials available which include software,
sample tests and review materials which will help you pass the first time!
Allied has recently been approved by the Appraiser Qualification Board
(AQB). Allied is an affiliate member of the National Association
of Real Estate Appraisers (NAREA). We have partnered with this premier
trade association in order to offer our students a free one year membership! Membership in this organization offers appraisers the following great
benefits:
- E & O Insurance at discounted group rates.
- Subscription to The Appraisal Times (the official newsletter of the NAREA).
- Useful appraisal supplements and guides to assist you in appraising quickly and accurately according to current standards.
- Eligibility to attend NAREA's annual trade show and conferences.
- NAREA Code of Ethics, suitable for framing.
- And much more!
What happens after I pass the state exam?
This
depends on your state's requirements (contact them for specific information).
In California, as soon as you complete the course and pass the state exam,
you will receive a trainee's license. After 2,000 hours of
"on the job" experience, you'll automatically receive your Residential
appraisers license.
What are the differences between Residential, Certified Residential and
Certified General appraiser licenses?
There are state by state variations; however, as a general rule the dollar value
of the property being appraised is the primary factor that indicates what
license level is required to effectively appraise it. Contact your state
for specific information.
Is NOW a good time to start my appraisal career?
Absolutely! Real estate is booming! Interest rates have never been lower. Now
is the BEST time for you to get your appraiser's license!
