Trainee Reciprocity for NJ and NY ?

[Paul Marcontell]

I contacted NJ Dept of App but they refused to answer any questions over the phone, referring me to Trainee Lic Application online. But this doesn't provide answers I seek.

I'm enrolled in Basic App course at NY RE Institute in NYC. Can I apply that course work to NJ? However, this training center is not on the NJ list of "acceptable education programs" (nothing in NYstate is listed). Is this an indication of an surmountable problem?

I am working with a NYS Certified Appraiser now. Can my work log be accepted in NJ?

I intend to get the reciprocal certification in NY and NJ. Can I get these going on a parallel track ? Thanks

Out of state course work might be acceptable. I can't speak for other states, but I know that in NY if the the course is not already approved, you would have to get it approved before you took the course, not after. I don't know what NJ requires regarding this matter.

Paul --

You're going about this bass-ackwards. If you're working with a NY State Certified Appraiser for your hours, and you're taking courses approved by NY State.....you should be going for your New York State License.

Once you get Licensed in NY State, there is Reciprocity with New Jersey with only a Letter of Good Standing by New York.

As a trainee in Delaware, I think the same apply s in that, you have to pass the course of the State you are taking the course in, then you have to apply for an State application to train in that State in order to take the State Exam...I would also advise you to look into the tanning departments rules and policy's and procedures of reviewing test and scores. I infact caught my schools computer teaching system to be flawed in it's testing and answers, which also may of been a factor of the school testing frailer rate...

Thanks for the replies. I didn't want to write a full bio, but ask some simple, I thought, questions about working in 2 states at once. No, I'm not going at this backasswards. I'm working toward the NY license, getting that on track. But I live in NJ, and I would like to be working in NJ as well and getting credit for the work experience. It's cheaper by far to work in NJ for me, but because I knew this Certified App in NY, it was a way to get started.

So back to the questions, if I can't get answers directly from NJ Dept of App, who but a Certified App in NJ might have the answers for what is possible, the guidelines, etc.

Thanks.

Okay - I reread your post and I want to add to what I've provided below.
You'll have to review the licensing laws to see if there is a way around the "approved course provider." In some states they absolutely allow you to take courses out of state, you just have to ensure that the course completion certificate the out of state course provider gives you has the information that your state requires.

=========================================
Reciprocity does not apply at the trainee level. Further, some states limit it to only the certified levels.

If you don't want to go through the process in both states, check to see if one of the states is "non-mandatory" - in other words, you do not need to have license in order to provide appraisal practice (for non-federally related transactions). If that's the case, then you can work under a certified appraiser in the non-mandatory state (on federally related transactions or unsupervised for non-fed transactions) without having to get your trainee license in that state. You can accrue hours until you have enough to apply for an initial license at the certified level.

You can find out this information by reading the appraiser licensing laws and regs that apply in your states.

I do not know the rules for NY and NJ.

I am a trainee in IA and IL.

I was able to take the trainee classes:

BASIC APPRAISAL PRINCIPLES...........................................................30 HOURS
BASIC APPRAISAL PROCEDURES........................................................30 HOURS
THE 15-HOUR NATIONAL USPAP COURSE OR ITS EQUIVELENT..............15 HOURS

Had to take the trainee test in both IA and IL.

When applying for certified appraiser, both IA and IL will except experience hours from another state so long as at least 51% of the hours is from the state you are applying.

Ive taken all my classes through appraisal institute and mckissock. they both have lists of state approved courses, and IA and IL both have lists available online of approved courses.

Here is some good info to get you going if you havent already read it or your state doesnt have similar information available.
