I’m looking into becoming an appraiser after working for 10 years with the state of Texas. I have been denied promotions 10x total with the state job… and bored with the same job position. I don’t care if I am making only a bit more doing appraising. I have an interest in it and no longer want to work an 8 hour a day sit down job.
Hey how's it goin? Did you end up doing it. I'm thinking about it myself. I was an uber driver for 6 years, no longer want to drive for a living anymore, I hate it. Have to deal with idiot drivers and road ragers all day long everyday, can't do it anymore.
Good information. I am looking into this field as a retirement job. I appreciate the overview of this field. If there’s any other information you could recommend, I’d appreciate it. Thank you.
Depends on the appraiser. They're supposed to do a through inspection, but the fact of the job is that appraisers are often rushed and do a more cursory job.
Credit is generally for taking out loans. You can look up the specific rules in your state or country to see if it's necessary for being an appraiser, but typically good credit is not necessary to be employed in an industry.
Just passed my residential appraiser exam. Only took 7 years to get here. C'mon in, the waters fine. 😭

I know many real estate appraisers and they all tell me the same thing, that the prospects of career is looking pretty grim today!
The career of an appraiser?
@@shannonhutchinson4084 Yes, the reality of an appraisal job is no where near what the imagination was expecting.

Thanks for sharing!!
How much do trainees make while putting in their 2000 hours?
What are some good general appraiser courses?
Do residential appraisers have to actually go in the crawl spaces or do they just peak their head in kind of thing

Do you need to have good credit to become an appraiser?
