Training to become a real estate appraiser is the first step to your finding rewarding and lucrative employment.

As the sale of residential and commercial property continues to increase, the real estate appraiser has become an indispensable asset to all those looking to invest in real estate. By using careful measurements, evaluation, inspection and analysis, a real estate appraiser produces a final report that allows investors to make informed purchasing decisions.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, over 340,000 people were employed as real estate appraisers in 1998. With the number of appraisers expected to increase 20% over the next 8 years. With Stratford’s Real Estate Appraiser program, students will learn how to take advantage of this opportunity to begin profitable careers as appraisers.

Employment in the real estate appraisal field is not only profitable, but highly flexible as well. Many appraisers choose to work only part-time, creating their own flexible work schedules or combining their real estate ventures with full-time careers. With new electronic information technology, access to real estate has become both immediate and unlimited. By simply conducting a few appraisals each week, a real estate appraiser can turn part-time work into a successful and profitable career.
