How do I know if my appraiser is licensed? | Real Estate Appraisers

How do I know if my appraiser is licensed?: Each state has a licensing department responsible for regulating real estate professionals, including appraisers. You can contact this department to verify that your appraiser carries a current license.; Many appraisers also belong to professional associations. But, membership in an association is not equivalent to being licensed. Some national trade associations for appraisers include: the Foundation of Real Estate Appraisers (FREA), the AI and the American Society of Appraisers (ASA).; [Back]
