Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

The first step to a future in real estate appraising is to contact your state boards for appraisers. You'll need to know test dates, covered topics, what kind of classes you need to complete and what kind of documents you'll need for test day. Appraisal referral services can provide you with a link to your state's appraisal board as well as other resources to help you in you goal to a future in real estate.
I recommend:
Look for property appraisal board by state through Appraisersdotcom. The site can also provide you with links to appraisal agencies and organizations. AppraiserUSA.com also provides a direct link to each state's site.
Consult authorized foundations and forums for state boards for property appraisal standards
State boards for property appraisal can get you the right applications and testing procedures but you should look for additional sources for extra accolades. You may earn a license but it also looks good to clients when you have more recognition than a license only. These boards have strict qualification standards and can help you stay on top of new laws and acts relating to property appraisal.
I recommend:
The Appraisal Foundation and AppraisersForum both provide additional resources and information to your state board for property appraisal.
Find educational resources to satisfy state boards for property appraisers requirements
State boards for property appraisers require different classes or courses for licensing. You can find educational materials on CD-ROM and in book form, as well as listings for traditional classroom training online. You should always ask if their classes are approved by your state's board and are certified by the International Distance Education Certification Center (IDECC).
I recommend:
ActWebServices offers CD-ROM courses as well as exam preps. Dave Shoemaker's School answers frequently asked questions from those considering a career as a property appraiser.
