How Many Appraisals Does The Average Appraiser Complete Per Week? Poll)

[devin]

the maybe you need to "adjust" your experience, lol. how long have you been appraising can be different from how long have you been certified... when i was dead years ago i just googled "appraiser sign up" and spent days applying to each link that came up. i just googled it myself and came up with 682 results. good luck bro!

Are you sure ? Being certified is not the same as having a trainee license? Come on now. That's probably why they have a separate exam requirement, and a separate requirement of 2500 hours of experience of no less than 30 months, and at my time an A/A degree or equivalent, 150 hours of appraisal education, and pass that 6 hour state exam. I have a little experience, I know I've only been Certified for 2 1/2, years , but I know I can get work out here with this amount of experience. Of course 5 years is nice, which will come in due time, I'll be alright.

can't say i agree with your methods. years of experience is not the same thing as years licensed/certified. i know of a local appraiser, not quite a friend but an acquaintance, who was removed from a panel he had been on for 2 years when the lender instituted the 5 year licensed requirement. he tried doing exactly what was posted, lying about the timeline, and was removed permanently from the panel once the lender found out.

there is no reason to lie about experience. anyone with internet access can look up an appraiser and see when their license was first issued on ASC.gov.

or you could take advantage of this very forum. they have a list of AMCs posted which you can cross-reference with the G,B & U forum.

I'll PM you on weekend, but two of the lenders I am approved with invited me to join (I waited years for it), still it does not hurt to just cold apply just look lenders and credit unions up online; imo it is a numbers game.

Do you do a lot of FHA work?

OK how did we jump from experience to lying? Ohh, My Stars, some people's judgment, and mentality.
