Educational Requirements:
New appraisers, their membership and mentoring
As a new appraiser you are encouraged to apply for the on line appraisal course offered by David J. Maloney, Jr. AOA CM. Mr. Maloney has been selected because he is well known, and respected within the industry. In addition, Dave has the requirement in his on line course that class members must submit an appraisal of their writing for his review. NEAA can not stress strongly enough that new members who have no established client base or have never written a personal property appraisal need the encouragement of a mentoring program. New appraisers then will know HOW to write an appraisal acceptable to industry standards and they have the knowledge that they can call or email a mentor who will offer suggestions to help them establish their appraisal practice. After the educational experience of Dave’s program your mentoring program continues with NEAA. Knowledge– Experience–Integrity.
