you're funny. the final test i took for that last year long society of r.e. appraisers classes was the hardest test i ever took. it lasted almost 8 hours, and nobody knew for sure if they passed it. after that, what then separated the men/women from the group was doing that 100+ page demo report. there were a 100 people in those classes, only 4 of us got their SRA.You were an SRA and took the old certified exam and thought it was tough?
long, long ago, to get appraisal work, in my state you had to be a r.e. broker. but no one would give you work without a designation, SRA being the gold standard. so at that time very hard to get, but once gotten it was the garden of eden. not too long afterwards state licensing killed that designation pretty much. when the society merged with the institute that truly killed it. the institute only cared about the MAI designation. my beloved, hard worked for SRA designation was soon worthless to me. before certification you had to have it, those who did made money like a doctor.
