How to become a part time real estate appraiser?

To become a part-time real estate appraiser, you need a high school diploma or equivalent, though many have an associate or bachelor’s degree to be eligible for higher level certification and appraise more complex properties. National requirements set by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) states you must complete three courses that cover appraisal principals and procedures, which total 75 credit hours, plus a four-hour trainee class, to earn a trainee license. Some states require additional coursework for appraiser trainees. To obtain the level of licensed appraiser, you may need to follow stricter guidelines adopted by many municipalities, including 1,000 hours of work experience under the supervision of a licensed real estate appraiser and passing an exam. Make sure to research the qualifications where you live before seeking part-time real estate appraiser positions.
