How to become a Real Estate Appraiser?
The Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) sets national course requirements, or the Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria, that appraisers must meet. However, the necessary training to earn a real estate appraisal license varies by state. Aspiring real estate appraisers must first become an appraiser trainee. Appraiser trainees are under direct supervision by a certified appraiser and are required by the AQB to take the following minimum courses:
- Basic Appraisal Principles (30 hours)
- Basic Appraisal Procedures (30 hours)
- National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (15 hours)
Each U.S. state or territory has a State Appraiser Regulatory Agency that is responsible for certifying and licensing real estate appraisers and supervising their appraisal-related activities, as required by federal law. Your state may require additional coursework, so it’s important that you consult with your state's appraiser regulatory agency. A list of state contact information can be found on The Appraisal Foundation’s
State Appraiser Regulatory Agencies page.
