State/Local Appraisal Groups
Real Estate Appraisal Structures provide a vehicle for packaging and delivering products and services to appraisers at the state and local Association level. Structures that exist at this level include: Task Forces, Subcommittees/Committees and State Sections.
Reasons to form an Appraisal Group:
A. | To provide a home for appraisal members |
B. | To create a professional & profitable environment for its members by providing quality continuing education, forums for networking, newsletters containing timely & pertinent information, and marketing techniques to enhance member success |
C. | To encourage specialization and increased recognition of professional designations (RAA & GAA) |
D. | To enhance membership value, improve communication and increase involvement of appraisal members through targeted member services |
E. | To promote standards of competent and ethical practice in real estate appraisal |
F. | To recruit and retain appraisers as REALTORS® |
G. | To institute peer recognition programs |
H. | To identify and develop services which meet the unique needs of the appraisal practitioner and support them in an increasingly competitive market |
