What does a home appraiser do?

[kami2199]

I'm in training. I'm waiting for my USPAP test results as we speak. I have my other exam tomorrow for my Fundamentals class. Plus, I've been working for an appraiser for 10 years. I get yelled at on a daily basis. LOL

And...unfortunately it will continue to happen on a daily basis! Good luck on your test results, USPAP is tricky. I bet you have gained a lot of knowledge working for an appraiser and regardless of what you learn in class, it's what you learn from your mentor and in the field that means the most.

ETA Just remember, stand your ground and don't EVER let anyone try to influence you. Ultimately, you are responsible for that bottom line number and not the ones making the commissions, etc. This will happen frequently, and you may feel like you don't have many friends in the biz, but you will be the one left with a license (and maybe out of jail) in the end!

Thanks. Yes, we deal with it all the time. I'm working for the right person, so I'm not too worried. He stands his ground. I've been the Office Manager for 10 years and have learned ALOT. I couldn't believe how easy the class was for me. I was really nervous when I first started it. I didn't realize until then how much I actually learned over the years. Although it's a job where you are constantly learning, no matter how long you're in the business. All real estate business is that way (I'm also starting classes Monday for my realtor's license).
