About Find An Appraiser
This Directory lists real estate appraisers who are designated or associate members
of the Appraisal Institute. The designation(s) after a member’s name (MAI, SRPA,
SRA, SREA, RM) signify that such member has met the Appraisal Institute’s rigorous
education, testing, experience, and other requirements for such designation(s) at
the time the member earned such designation(s). Directory policy limits designated
members of the Appraisal Institute to display up to two non-competing designations
(one general, one residential—for example, MAI, SRA or SRPA, SRA) with their listing
in the Directory.
Other than a member’s membership designation, all other individual member information
was provided solely by the member, and the Appraisal Institute has not reviewed
or verified such information. The Appraisal Institute makes no representation as
to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information in these listings
and takes no responsibility for such information.
Search Hints
You can search on as many search functions as necessary, depending on whether you
are searching for a particular member or seeking the name(s) of members in a given
area or who do specific types of work. You do not have to fill out every search
field. Choose the criteria that best meet your needs.
Wild Card Searching
In cases where you may have incomplete information to begin your search (for example,
not sure on spelling of a member’s name), you may do a "wild card" search. To do
wild card searches, a percent sign (%) can be entered into the fields. For your
convenience, the "automatic wild card searching" will put a percent sign (%) at
the end of every search field for you. For example, to find members whose last name
starts with "Gar," a wild card search of 'Gar%' will retrieve Garber, Garcia, Gardner,
Garrett, etc. For more advanced searching, you can use a percent sign before and
after a search item. For example, to find members with ABC in the company name,
enter %ABC% into the Company field.
Zip Code Search Radius
You may search for members within a given radius of a specific Zip Code. The default
radius is set at 5 miles. To increase or decrease the number of your results, simply
increase or decrease the number in the Within box to your required
distance.
Results That Don’t Seem to Fit Criteria
Some designated members have requested their listing to appear under a different
city (and state) to increase their market visibility (for example, under Washington,
D.C., for a Bethesda, MD, address). Because of this, your search results may display
addresses that do not seem to belong to your search criteria. This is because the
search logic is also looking at this "listed under" city and state in addition to
the member's actual address.
If you are using a compound city name in your search and the results do not reflect
the way you have input your request, please send a message to our Webmaster at web@appraisalinstitute.org
to add this to our "city smart search" list.
Business Services & Property Types Searches
Directory users may search for Appraisal Institute designated members by specific
business services and/or property types. Only those designated
members who have completed a Member Profile will be reflected in such searches.
Major property type categories include Residential, Land, Commercial, Industrial,
Public, Recreational, Agricultural, Special Purpose and Ownership Forms, each of
which has a number of subset options (see drop-down boxes). Member Profiles may
also provide additional information on the market area(s) served, formal education,
foreign language ability and other professional affiliations of such designated
members. To view a Member Profile, click on the Member Profile icon above a designated
member’s listing in search results.
Designations
Directory policy limits designated members of the Appraisal Institute to display
up to two non-competing designations (one general, one residential—for example,
MAI, SRA or SRPA, SRA) with their listing in the Directory. If you search by designation,
you may get results that do not seem to fit your search criteria. This is because
the search logic looks at all the designations a member has earned.
Minority and Women Directory
Because many states, federal agencies and financial institutions require the assignment
of a portion of appraisal work to qualifying minorities, women and persons with
disabilities (and/or minority- and women-owned businesses), the Appraisal Institute's
Diversity Committee has compiled this Directory of Minority and Women Real Estate
Appraisers. The individuals listed in this Directory are Appraisal Institute
designated and associate members who responded to various published notices requesting
the names of minority and women real estate appraisers who wished to be included
in this Directory. This Directory does not purport to be a complete or accurate
compilation of all minority and women members of the Appraisal Institute.
Results Per Page:
In displaying search results, the default is to display 15 appraisers per "page"
or screen. If desired, you can change this field to display more per page.
Sort By:
By default search results will appear in random order (the random order is adjusted every 20 minutes).
You can adjust this to order the list by Name, Zip Code, Company name or City sequence.
Retired Members
If you are having trouble finding a specific Appraisal Institute member be sure
to check out our directories of Retired Members.

engage in any business activity that is subject to the Appraisal Institute Standards
of Professional Appraisal Practice and/or the Code of Professional Ethics and who
