How to become an insurance appraiser?

To pursue a career as an insurance appraiser, you need a high school diploma or equivalent. Some employers prefer that you have a post-secondary education, such as an associate or bachelor’s degree. Decide in which industry you wish to work; the most common types of insurance appraisers work with auto, home, or commercial property claims. Many states require insurance appraisers to obtain an appraiser’s license, so research the qualifications in the state where you work. Seek entry-level appraiser positions at insurance companies; once you have some experience in the field, you may choose to become an independent contractor and work with several different insurance agencies.
