The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today.

I worked really hard to obtain my degree and start on appraisal courses to get licensed in Alaska. And ended up giving up because no appraisers in my area were willing to take on an apprentice and were all very unwelcoming to new comers. Its a very gate kept field. I wrote many research papers on the diminished supply of appraisers due to those retiring and no one wanting to come into the field.

Fees for software, insurance, realtor memberships, license fees, gas prices along with AMC taking their cuts, low fees that harken back to the 1990’s. It doesn’t make since anymore there is no profit. So yes I’m out one less certified residential appraiser.

There is a LOT that would need to be unpacked as to why appraisers do not want to take on trainees. All of the costs involved, current low fees in many areas/cases, lack of work, taxes and additional accounting, lack of time, many work from home and do not want strangers in their homes, etc.

All of those other items mentioned are valid reasons for not wanting to take on a trainee.

Back when I started in 1978, one polaroid of the front and a one sheet filled out in pencil. $50 per report and I thought I was rich. Still working, now with my daughter, who is certified and we are having fun. We are lucky to have a great reputation and we charge what we feel we are worth. The new form appears to be very detailed and I am sure we will have to up our fees, and we will not get every order, but I still have hopes for the future.
