November 15 - Life of a Real Estate Appraiser



So you think you want to become a Real Estate Appraiser, but how do you go about doing this? Well, the simple answer is to look up the qualifications on Texas Appraiser Licensing & Certification Board and start to work through them until you are qualified to become an appraiser!

Now that you are a qualified appraiser, what are some of the general knowledge that you must know? The most basic understanding is to ask what exactly an appraiser does, and much like the name states they simply appraise or determine the value of property and determine wether any violations are located on the property prior to sale. Browsing Realtor's FAQs is an easy way to find answer such as how you make your money (which is based on a fee for each property).

The outlook for Appraisers is slower than average based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with jobs availiable either by starting up your own shop or by joining a larger agency. Many appraisal companys exist, many of which can be seen on websites such as Angie's list or similar. An example of a major real estate appraisal company in the Illinous area would be the Leja Group.
