There's a shortage of appraiser supervisors for prospective appraiser trainees, which means it’s hard for more appraisers to make headway in the industry. The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) hosted a webinar on Wednesday, October 16 at 1 p.m. CT. to discuss the ins and outs of appraiser supervision. This webinar also provided key information for aspiring appraisers. Topics included:
- The role and importance of a supervisor, explained.
- How to become a trainee.
- What’s in it for supervisors?
- How to find an appraiser looking for a trainee.
- Fannie Mae’s role in the profession.
- Trainee misconceptions.
