Commercial Appraiser: Good Career Choice?

[Louis Pompeo]

Forgot to mention....

Many State Certified, General Real Estate Appraisers earn well over $100K per year as employees of the Federal Government.

In addition to salary, they work only 40 hours per week, have all of their expenses paid, paid overtime, have a matching 401K, retirement benefits, paid lifetime healthcare, paid sick time, 13 paid holidays, and up to 5 weeks paid vacation each year.

They also receive up to $230 per month in transportation subsidies for commuting to work and many other benefits.

And we wonder why we are running a $2,000,000,000,000 deficit. :Eyecrazy:

Sounds like someone who couldn't pass the comp ...

Sounds like somebody that couldn't pass advanced income. Or got his arse handed to him in court by an MAI.

There are MAIs, and there are MAIs. Some are great appraisers. Some are not so great.

Take the AI education, it is among the best. Also included among the best education providers would be the ASA, IMO.

I agree, on every, except I've never taken an ASA class so I don't have an opinion. The guy just comes in here and says he'd never take anything AI and MAIs are whatever you want to call them blah blah blah. Come on. Grow up.

The fellow who said that is an idiot.

The fellow who said that is an idiot.

The federal appraiser jobs do seem pretty "cush".

 

[Louis Pompeo]

You THINK, therefore you AIN'T

The federal appraiser jobs do seem pretty "cush".

Really?

I've reviewed, valued, tweaked, and/or updated values that run into the multi-billions so far this year. How about you?

What do you think it would cost the government in time and money to get private-sector appraisers to perform the same actions? What would it cost to get YOU to perform those actions?

Government appraisers usually value unique and difficult property interests such as Indian Reservation Land, Life Estates, Air Rights, Water Rights, Remainder Interests, Conservation Easements, Facade Easements, Family Limited Partnership interests, Corporate shares that have real estate as the only asset, Nuclear Facilities, Military Reservations, Reservoirs, Wetlands, Partial Interests, Environmentally Contaminated Lands, Permits, Encroachments, Leasehold and Leased Fee Interests, etc., etc.

I got your "cush" right here buddy!

well, we know where 1 appraisers shoulder chip button is. Crow about the cush, then get indignant when someone has questions or comments about it.:new_smile-l:
