An up tick in the demand for appraisers??

This is an anecdotal observation. But I think it is of some interest. The latest pre-licensing course I taught at Kaplan had 39 students, which is the largest number of new appraisers I have seen in about two years. The number of students taking the courses has been increasing steadily over the past 6 months.

Of more interest however is that in each of the last two offerings of the pre-licensing courses, more than half the students had an appraisal position waiting for them. This is a significant surge in the number of students with jobs in hand than in the recent past.

Clearly there are companies out there with work to be had. The trick, as always, is finding them.

If you happen to be one of these new appraisers, please post what you did to get that first job.
