Mortgage brokers, mortgage agents, and mortgage lending

In some states such as Missouri and Kansas real estate appraisers are required to meet educational and licensing requirements. Appraisers must attend continuing-education courses to maintain standing with the state. I think this is very good information to know. I also think that regardless of the state you are in, you should check to see what the requirements are for the appraisers. Also the reputation of the appraiser. You can ask the builder or lender who is doing the appraisal. Then do your research and see what their reputation is. To find out the requirements for appraisers in your state, I recommend you do an internet search. Once the search results return then refine it from there.
