So, we're doing a little overview of a real estate appraiser. The first link that we're going to look at is from the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics to get a little bit more information about this profession.

To sum it up, a real estate appraiser is someone who is certified to analyze a property and determine its value. There are many different types of value: market, tax, and insured just to name a few. This is a relatively easy field to get into, however there is a fair amount of competition. The average salary was $48,500 annually in 2010. On top of that, the job is expected to grow by about 7% from 2010 to 2020.
Now that we know a little bit more about this career, what's the road to become an appraiser in Texas? For that, let's take a look at the website for the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board's website:

At this link, we see that the road begins with the Appraiser Trainee position and then moves up to the Licensed Appraiser position. After that, the next level is the Certified Residential Appraiser Position and lastly the Certified General Appraiser.
There are links on the above website to look at the details, qualifications, and requirements necessary for each position. For starters, let's just take a look what it takes to get into the field from the bottom-up, the position of an Appraiser Trainee. All of the following information is taken from the TALCB website.
