What are the types of licensure, and what can each type appraise?
A. The three types of licensure are State License, Certified Residential, and Certified General. For federally related transactions, State Licensed appraisers can perform residential appraisals with a transaction value less than $1,000,000; non-residential property must be appraised by a certified appraiser.
