Melyssa, there is not enough space here for a step by step analysis, but check out my history of answering questions about appraisal. This is one of the most frequently asked questions. Aside, I don’t recommend on-line education. So much more “learning” can be achieved in the classroom. You’re going to find that the coursework is the easy part of becoming an appraiser. The hard part is to find a sponsor.

In Texas, I hope you have already become familiar with our Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board. They are the ones that control the appraisers in our great state, and have all the information you need to become an appraiser. The TALCB can also tell you if the education you are receiving from your on-line schoool is approved for qualifying credits.

I might advocate operating as a realtor for no less than five years earlier than even since appraisal. There is alot to appraisal. might be take into account operating for an appraiser, however I defiantly might endorse gaining operating useful operating revel in as a Real Estate agent earlier than even since the following degree. might be you might paintings for an appraiser, that might be a well begin.

To become a Commercial Real estate Appraiser in Texas one need to find accredited appraiser under whom you can work and complete your field hours but its after one has completed classroom hours.

Once you have completed your classroom hours, you need to find an accredited appraiser that will let you work under them to get your field hours. This can be a bit difficult to find as they can view you as competition once you’ve completed, and therefore don’t want to “teach their future competition”. What would be good is if you could work under someone who is in another town so that they know you won’t be working their same area once you are on your own.
