Appraiser Licensing
Appraiser licensing varies from state to state. To participate in what is called a "federally-related transaction," which is, for example, a mortgage being underwritten by a national bank, an appraiser must be licensed or certified by his or her state. My Arizona certification is evidence that I have performed a certain number of hours as a trainee (more than ten years ago) under the supervision of a practicing appraiser, have passed an examination, and completed a certain number of hours of Continuing Education Training.
I have established a reputation for quality and prompt work, performed professionally and ethically, with the best customer service I can provide. Tour this website for valuable information on the experience I have and the services I provide.
You should always be sure your appraisal service provider is licensed or certified and is in good standing in the state he or she practices in. The Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) maintains a national database of appraisers and their license/certification status. It is available publicly at this link.
Among other things, this database, which relies on reports from each state appraisal board, will tell you if a service provider you are considering has had his or her license suspended, revoked, or whether the license has lapsed.You can rest assured that my certification is current and in good standing!
