Why hire an appraiser with designations?

The Appraisal Institute is the world's leading organization of professional real estate appraisers. Designations held by the membership include general appraisal members who hold the MAI, SRPA, or SREA and residential appraisal members who hold the SRA or RM designations. Identified by the experience and knowledge of real estate valuation, these members adhere to a strictly enforced Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Currently, the Appraisal Institute confers one general designation, the MAI, and one residential designation, the SRA.

Appraisal Institute professional membership designations are conferred on individuals who met stringent educational requirements and have demonstrated appraisal experience. Once designated, members participate in a program of continuing education. Training in up-to-date valuation techniques, coupled with experience and integrity, make Appraisal Institute members the preferred source for high-quality appraisal services.
