MEMBERSHIP.
FOR APPRAISERS, IT’S
THE CORNERSTONE
OF SUCCESS.

Membership Brings Clients Right to You
With our “Find an Appraiser” member directory on
the Web site’s home page, your contact information
and specialty is just a click away for clients.
The directory now receives more than 80,000 hits
a month.
n
Membership Is Your Key to a Personalized
Web Portal
In addition to the membership directory, the
redesigned Web site lets you create a personalized
page, “My Appraisal Institute.” You can update and
manage your member profile, review your
educational history, register for courses
and much more.
n
Membership Lets You Tap Into Free,
Expert Guidance
Two new services, free and for members only, can
be critical aids to professional success. The Ethics
and Counseling Hotline answers questions about
USPAP issues and other concerns. And our Associate
Member Service Center has knowledgeable counselors
to help you find the best education path, support you
through the designation process and much more.
As a member, you will also be able to network with
highly experienced appraisers who can provide advice
and even referrals.
Associate Membership
is Now Just $295 per Year.
Associate Membership dues are now offered at a savings
of up to $215 off 2007’s dues. That covers both national
and local chapter membership. And we will even prorate
your annual fee from the day you join. Call 312-335-4111
now to speak with a membership counselor.
Real estate valuation is a highly competitive business.
And membership in the Appraisal Institute is the best
way to get the competitive advantage that can be the
cornerstone of your success. If you’re not yet a member,
look at what you’re missing. If you are a member,
be sure you’re taking full advantage of a wide range
of enhanced member services.
n
Membership Gives You Access to Knowledge—
Free, or at Discounts
Only members have total, free access to the Appraisal
Institute’s online Lum Library, where you can download
more than 1,000 expert papers on a wide range of
appraisal topics. Membership also gets you a 20
percent discount on most educational courses, including
specialized offerings such as how to appraise in declining
markets and a seminar on valuing green buildings.
n
Membership Puts You on the Way to Designation
Many members of the Appraisal Institute know that
earning the MAI or SRA designation provides an even
greater competitive advantage in a real estate market
that now, more than ever, values the skills of independent,
professional appraisers. For new members, joining is the
first step to earning a valuable designation. Designated
members earn, on average, 30 percent more than
non-designated appraisers.
