How to become a real estate appraiser in California?

Question

Where can I obtain the license? Do junior college offer the required classes?

Answer 1

You should check with the California Office of Real Estate Appraisers (OREA) to obtain the licensing requirements for the various appraiser license levels. Their website is at:

http://www.orea.ca.gov/

I highly suggest downloading the licensing handbook and giving it a thorough read! Also, you should read up on the new education requirements that will become effective on January 1, 2008 (you will be affected).

Also, you can search their database to see what courses they'll accept for education hours:

Best of luck!
