With about 3 percent of licensed U.S. appraisers leaving the profession each year – a cumulative 22 percent decline since 2007 – now might be an ideal time to consider a career in real estate valuation.
The Appraisal Institute is highly active in recruiting the next generation of appraisers. Some of the key benefits of being an appraiser include:


  • Business ownership. While some appraisers choose to work for banks or large firms, others prefer operating their own businesses. An appraisal business can be started for a relatively modest amount of money. Professional associations like the Appraisal Institute offer discounts on essential business tools such as insurance, educational offerings and shipping services.
  • Potential for high income. According to Appraisal Institute research, nearly 40 percent of all U.S. valuation professionals earn $100,000 to $200,000 per year. Income levels often are higher for Appraisal Institute professionals, nearly 50 percent of whom earn $100,000 to $200,000 annually.
  • Flexible schedules. Many appraisers enjoy schedules that don’t require them to work traditional 9-to-5 business hours. This flexibility enables professionals to schedule time for family activities and pursue other interests. Valuation also can require professionals to spend a time visiting properties, which appeals to those who don’t want to sit behind a desk. For many appraisers, no two days are exactly alike.
  • Diverse opportunities. Houses and office buildings aren’t the only properties that require valuation. Some appraisers specialize in nursing homes, golf courses, hotels, storage facilities, marinas, convenience stores and other properties. Others work on right of way assignments, taxation issues, conservation easements, eminent domain issues or as expert witnesses for litigation cases. Still others focus on green and energy-efficient valuation.
  • Solutions for difficult problems. Appraisers may be asked to solve difficult problems for their clients, which can make the valuation profession challenging and satisfying. Research and analysis are crucial skill sets.
