Trainees Have New Options for What Counts Toward Appraisal Experience

Submitted by Summer Mandell on Wed, 2022-01-19 16:58

The Appraiser Qualification Board (AQB) now allows applicants to gain 100% of experience credit by completing appraisal assignments that do not have a traditional client. Effective January 1, 2022, this change means a trainee can complete an appraisal for the intended use of gaining experience credit. For example, an aspiring appraiser could complete appraisals on their home, a family member’s home, or a neighbor’s home solely for the purpose of gaining experience credit.
