I could not remember any questions about high school or college on the application that I filed many years ago so I checked the OREA web site and they did not address minimum educational requirements other than appraisal specific courses.
Could not stand not knowing so I just called the OREA and was told that in California, you do not have the have a high school diploma or GED.
This does not surprise me when I read some of the reports that are turned in , and see some of the "Appraisers" out here in the field.
I hope that all other states have better requirements because I think that this is inexcusable. We can never be called a true profession until there are some serious educational requirements.
I can only think of one other "profession" that does not have tough, or maybe any educational requirements and some in our business share some of their other qualities or moral standards too.
It would be interesting to know how many other states are so lax.
