1.0 out of 5 stars Written by two non-appraisers, April 21, 2006

This review is from: How to Get Started in the Real Estate Appraisal Business (Paperback)

Upon seeing this item listed for sale, I became curious as to the background of the authors. As it turn out neither one of them is a licensed real estate appraiser. There has been a lot of hype around the appraisal profession lately with Money listing it as one of the top careers. While I appreciate the attention my profession is receiving, many of these books and articles give people an irresponsible expectation of what it is like getting into the industry. I question how useful a book on how to become a real estate appraiser, written by two people who have never undertaken that career choice, will be. Buy and use with caution.
