Welcome

We invite all stakeholders to participate in a crucial discussion regarding a matter of significant importance in our field: determining the correct amount of education needed for individuals to quality for trainee, license, or certification credentials as a real property appraiser. As one of the stewards of the appraisal profession qualifications, we are examining the requirements in the Real Property Appraiser Qualifications Criteria (Criteria). And in doing so, this endeavor demands our commitment to understanding important issues to be able to reach resolute solutions.

We urge you to join us in this important endeavor by reading both this Concept Paper and its companion Reference Manual, so that you can prepare and provide your feedback and thoughts to us. On the following pages you will find a brief summary of how we are planning to reassess the qualification criteria, followed by some thoughts for you as you prepare your feedback, a high-level explanation of the current Criteria (and its history), and a series of questions we would like you to consider.

Your participation at this early stage is essential, and we express our gratitude for any feedback you choose to provide to us in this pursuit.

If you have any questions, please contact the Board at AQB@appraisalfoundation.org.

Brad Swinney
Chair, Appraiser Qualifications Board.
