List of Property Types
APPRAISAL QUALIFICATIONS At minimum, all states require appraisers to be
state licensed or certified in order to provide appraisals to federally
regulated lenders.
Appraisers who become designated members of the Appraisal Institute and
American Society of Appraisers have gone beyond these minimum requirements by
fulfilling rigorous educational and experience requirements, and must adhere to
strict standards and a code of professional ethics.
The Appraisal Institute currently confers the MAI membership designation on
those who are experienced in the valuation of commercial, industrial,
residential and other types of properties.
The American Society of Appraisers offers multiple disciplines in Real Estate,
Equipment and Business Valuation. An appraiser who has earned the ASA
membership designation has met an extensive array of testing, coursework and
experience.
The Association of Machinery and Equipment Appraisers offers a Certified
Equipment Appraiser (CEA) designation to those appraisers that have
demonstrated extensive knowledge, experience and training in the appraisal of
equipment.
