When selecting a real estate appraiser, licensing and certification are important considerations. State licensing requirements establish minimum education, experience, examination, and continuing education standards for individuals providing real estate appraisal services. For federally related transactions, applicable federal regulations require the use of appropriately credentialed appraisers. State regulatory agencies are responsible for licensing and certifying appraisers and establishing requirements for maintaining those credentials. A Certified Residential Appraiser has completed specific education, experience, examination, and continuing education requirements established by the applicable state regulatory authority. Certification demonstrates that an appraiser has met established professional requirements to perform residential appraisal assignments within the scope permitted by their credential. However, licensing and certification are only part of the equation when selecting an appraisal professional. Experience, market knowledge, analytical ability, communication, and professional integrity also matter. Real estate valuation requires more than simply identifying recently sold properties. A professional appraiser must understand how differences in location, condition, quality, size, design, site characteristics, amenities, and market conditions can influence a property's marketability and value.
