About our membership classifications:
Affiliates
are professionals in related fields NOT looking for designations.
Affiliates include realtors, bankers, mortgage brokers, and other trades related
to the appraiser profession. This is NOT a designated classification (see
Senior Residential or
Senior General below), and Affiliates cannot advance to
designated classifications. Affiliates enjoy discounts at all Society continuing education seminars.
Candidates
are real estate appraisers seeking professional designations. This is not
a designated classification (see Senior Residential
or Senior General below), but
Candidates can advance to designated classifications after six months if member
is active in attending at least three meetings/seminars and if applicant meets
other criteria for designated classifications. The six-month waiting
period can be waived at the discretion of the Society for individuals holding
similar designations with other appraiser organizations. Candidates enjoy
discounts at all Society continuing education seminars.
Senior Residential members are those members experienced in
performing primarily one- to four-family appraisals. This is a designated
classification. These members have the professional endorsement of the
Society. They have demonstrated a level of education and experience that
entitles them to use the designation assigned, Senior Residential or CSA-R.
Senior Residential members are listed in our online
Find-an-Appraiser List, our
Membership Directory, and our Attorney Desk Reference. Senior Residential
members enjoy discounts at all Society continuing education seminars.
Senior
General members are those members experienced in performing primarily
income-producing property appraisals. This is a designated classification.
