The number one challenge in becoming an appraiser is finding a supervisor ... until now. Most states have adopted an alternative path to becoming a state-credentialed real property appraiser: Practical Applications of Real Estate Appraisal (PAREA). The AQB created PAREA as an alternative to the old supervisor/trainee method for logging experience. And just recently, the Appraisal Institute began offering their PAREA program.

Join Bryan and his guest Jack Zix, an aspiring appraiser who's going through PAREA right now. Listen in as Jack talks about his journey, including how the program works and what he likes and dislikes about it.
