In 2010, we continue to be reminded of the importance of reliable professional asset valuation. When you really need to know, you need to hire the best. In the appraisal profession, the best is the Appraisal Institute. The Appraisal Institute is a global association of 24,000 professional real estate appraisers. Our mission is to support and advance professional credentials, standards of professional practice, and ethics consistent with the public good. The Appraisal Institute is also recognized as the leader in real estate appraisal education, and is the world's largest publisher of appraisal literature. Members of the Appraisal Institute benefit from an array of professional education and advocacy programs, and may hold the prestigious MAI, SRPA, and SRA designations. The Seattle Chapter of the Appraisal Institute is one of the most prominent chapters in the nation, and will offer almost 250 hours of appraisal education in 2010. We have nearly 500 members who are involved in all aspects of residential and commercial real estate valuation and consulting. The "Find an Appraiser" function located on the left hand side of the chapter web site (www.ai-seattle.org) will help you find a local Appraisal Institute member who can provide the professional valuation services you need. You can also contact the Chapter Office at 206.622.8425 and they will refer you to a member that can meet your needs. |
