How do I qualify as a State Licensed Real Estate Appraiser Assistant?
State Licensed Real Estate Appraiser Assistant applicants must do the following: • File an appraiser application with the $275 fee, • Meet the minimum education requirements of a State Licensed Real Estate Appraiser, • Be supervised in the conduct of their services by a New York State licensed or certified appraiser who must cosign any appraisal report involving a federally related transaction over the deminimus level, and • Utilize the same Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice as a state licensed or certified appraiser. Upon satisfaction of the application requirements of the Department of State, the Department will issue a renewable 2-year State Licensed Real Estate Appraiser Assistant license. Should an appraiser assistant acquire experience for licensed or certified appraiser, his or her application must comply with whatever examination and education requirements exist for that category at that time.
