Not surprising, thanks for the post

Thanks Greg.

Maybe we should all get together and send it to Coester for his "Appraiser Shortage" article comments.

I know it would take up too much space to put in every year going back to 2000 but I wish they would put 2006 and 2000 in there for reference.

I think the gap in the actual number of appraisers and active licenses is from people holding license in multiple states.

that's a part of it but i wouldn't guess a majority share. i personally know 6 people who hold an active license/certification and take CE courses each year but none of them have performed an appraisal in a few years (we are all on similar renewal schedules so i see them each year in class). according to the local instructor there are a lot of people who fall into that same boat. they have their license/cert and the "hard work" is done so it makes sense to take 2 one-day classes each year to keep it active just in case.

The only reason you'd keep a license in dormant mode is because there's not enough work to make it worth your while to use it.

Yep and the alternative income that supports life as we know it.

Very interesting.

A lot more "employee" appraisers than I thought.

When did "Chief" appraisers become their own category?
