The appraisal industry has historically been very fragmented. Appraisers are even known as “independent fee appraisers.” So even though there are a number of organizations dedicated to appraisers, a recent NAR survey indicates that many appraisers do not belong to any organization at all. Consequently, as individuals, many appraisers feel disenfranchised. Their individual voices are not being heard and they have no power. But as a cohesive group – there is considerable power. There are many challenges facing the appraisal industry, but none is greater than how to function as a cohesive national organization of professionals. AppraisalWorld is dedicated to meeting this challenge and providing appraisers with the benefits that come from unity and membership.

Membership Has Its Benefits
There is clearly a need and opportunity for appraisers, as a cohesive group, to leverage their knowledge, assets and national scales of economy to obtain benefits that are readily available to other large, national groups of professionals. Twenty years ago there were over 25 associations serving the needs of appraisers; today there is just a handful. More Benefits

Very few of these organizations have been able to leverage that economy of scale to provide appraisers with benefits, such as discounts on products and services, and/or additional opportunities for revenue growth. AppraisalWorld can provide these benefits.
