Real Estate Appraiser Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I want to be a real estate appraiser and have completed my 2 year degree in business administration but am currently trying to receive my 2 year in Real Estate. I want to be a real estate appraiser but I have heard it is difficult to get a training job that allows you to full fill the 2500 hours required for your license. Is it easy or hard for most people to get there 2500 hours?

I'm living in Salt Lake City and I'm considering taking an online course to get certified as a real estate appraiser. So, I'm wondering... is there a demand for appraisers? And, what does one need to do after becoming certified to start working? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am currently a residental real estate appraiser assisant in New York. I've been working with a family appraisal company for the past 2 years and my boss is very lenient and will "sign-off" on any jobs that I bring in. Can anyone give me advice on how to get appraisal orders from mortgage companies in the area. We cover basically all of NY, and near Jersey.

I have owned my own real estate appraisal company for 5 years and I am looking to get a higher paying/more secure job in banking and finance. Where should I look and what can I do. The ups and downs of appraisals is really getting to me. These recent changes are mostly due to HVCC and other government intervention. I am hard working, dependable, and honest and recently my income has been reduced by 75?

I am a real estate appraiser. I had to take courses in a different state for my certification for work. I went twice, the first time I went it cost me $5,000 (between flights/hotel/tuition/food/car) These courses are through the appraisal institute and only help me if I am a real estate appraiser. My boss agreed to help me when I had to take one addditional course and paid the majority of my expenses for the second trip (flight/hotel/tuition). However now our bookkeeper came up and said she thinks it was not a business expense that the business can deduct and that I might have to either pay the company back or that my boss can agree that the cost of the trip was a bonus and I pay taxes on it. The course does help me receive certification in my job (and granted I could quit my job and take my certification elsewhere) and that is why she says she thought it wasn't a business expense. If this is a legitimate expense how can I convince the bookkeeper?

Hey Im 20 years old and I am going to school for generals right now, but I was thinking of just getting a two year degree in something. I was thinking a real estate appraiser. I found a two year program in Seattle Washington. Would this be a good job? Should I just get my AA first in general studies and transfer? I still have about another year or two to get my generals done for a AA Liberal Arts transfer degree. Thanks.

I've been considering becoming a residential real estate agent once my daughter turns one. I love real estate so I think I may enjoy this work. I thought the hours would mostly be evenings and weekends, that way hubby could take care of our daughter while I'm at work and I can take care of her during the day. I realize I might have to have some childcare occasionally during the days if a client needs my help at that time. Does anyone have any experience working in real estate? Do my expectations sound realistic?

I am a real estate appraiser and it might make the difference between a good job and a better one but is the present cost of the degree going to be offset by future earnings, or would I be doing it just for the personal satisfaction.
