Seventy-five hours of education is now required for appraiser trainees under new regulations created by the State Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers.
Dan Bradley, the board’s chair, said before these regulations were enacted there was no way to regulate appraiser trainees.
“Previously these individuals were not regulated in any way and in most cases the board didn’t know who these people were,” Bradley added.
Appraiser trainees have until October 1 to complete their education and according to Bradley, this will raise the bar for the industry and protect the consumer.
“We will be able to bring disciplinary charges against trainees who don’t follow the rules of the profession,” Bradley said. The requirements for the new trainee license are on the PA Bulletin website.
