Getting a Real Estate Appraisal License
All states require appraisers to be state licensed or certified in order to provide appraisals to federally regulated lenders. Some states require appraisers to be licensed or certified to provide appraisals for other parties as well. To become licensed or certified, you must pass an examination that is administered by your state's appraisal board. Because state requirements vary, contact your state's regulatory agency for specific requirements.
