I know that you have to have a Bachelors degree before being able to take the test to become a commercial real estate appraiser but is it a requirement to get a residential license first?

In the state of Fl you have to work under a certified appraiser as a appraiser in training without a degree. The license to do commerical app. is a general appraiser vs. general real estate appraiser. With a general license you can do both types of reports. Commerical reports are narrative reports. The company that you would work for would typically have a filler report that has most of the broad information. I would disagree with becoming an Real Estate agent before moving to appraising. Appraising and sales are two different hats totally. That coming from someone that has done both (sales and appraising)
what state are you in? i am in CT and here you do not need a degree to be a licensed real estate agent. all you have to do is pass the test..I am unsure av bout the difference between residential and commercial> I am pretty sure. although not positive, that you need working experience in the field, to be an appraiser. I would recommend working as a realtor for at least 5 years before even considering appraisal. There is alot to appraisal. perhaps consider working for an appraiser, but I defiantly would suggest gaining working practical working experience as a Real Estate agent before even considering the next level. perhaps you could work for an appraiser, that would be a good start.
