You’ve come to the right place. The Collateral Risk Network has the only “virtual career coach” program designed to steer you along the appraisal career path. Now you can chat with a seasoned veteran who can act as your virtual coach.

Where are you thinking about taking your educational requirements? Should I take online classes or onsite classes?

2

Please review your state’s website, in advance, for requirements at the state level. This may lead to a lot of questions. Don’t expect your virtual career coach to have done this research for you.

3

Have questions prepared for your virtual career coach. How do I find a supervisor? What defines a good supervisor? Will I be an employee or an independent contractor? Are there opportunities at banks, assessor offices, local appraisers? What skill sets are needed for commercial vs. residential?
