Certification for Manufactured Housing Appraisers

Welcome to AARESC!

Effective January 1, 2010 the following education will be required for existing MHV certified personal property appraisers:

Recertification through the AARESC will be required every three years, offering the certified personal property appraiser the ability to reaffirm his or her commitment to quality.

In addition, recertification demonstrates that the appraiser has kept up with current trends in the manufactured home industry; as well as the processes necessary for the HUD FHA Title I manufactured home appraisal.

Recertification is a standard practice within the site-built appraisal community and will be an added benefit to the manufactured housing appraisal industry.

It is strongly suggested by AARESC and NADA Appraisal Guides that the appraiser recertify before December 31, 2009 in preparation for this requirement.

Backed by NADA Data, Now Offered Online
 
Appraisers looking for a competitive edge in today's home appraisal marketplace now have online access to an in-depth manufactured home appraisal continuing education course, thanks to a new partnership between NADA Appraisal Guides and the American Association of Real Estate Schools and Colleges (AARESC). 
 
The course, which utilizes the NADA Manufactured Housing Appraisal Guide & CD-ROM and the company's National Appraisal System (NAS) – a field instruction manual containing in-depth step-by-step instruction, guidelines and industry notes about the physical manufactured home appraisal – is now available online at http://onlineportal.digitalchalk.com. Completion of this course, with a passing grade, gives home appraisers the knowledge to complete manufactured housing personal property appraisals. Additionally, it qualifies them to complete HUD FHA Title I appraisals. 
 
 "With the recent FHA reforms, today's home appraisers need a competitive advantage," said Sherrie Clevenger, managing editor at NADA Appraisal Guides. "There are many appraisal schools that offer manufactured housing as continuing education courses, but none are backed by NADA data – data recognized as the industry standard in manufactured home appraisal. This course brings convenient online access of the National Appraisal System (NAS) method, using NADA information, to appraisers looking to expand their knowledge-base and ultimately, their business."
 
According to Clevenger, the course will be rolled out in phases. Phase One qualifies the appraisers for personal property appraisals, Phase Two enables appraisers to re-certify their abilities to the new standards, and Phase Three is the course that satisfies the appraiser's continuing education (CE) requirements.
 
Once a home appraiser completes the online continuing education course, he or she is provided with an official Certificate of Completion, which is mailed to the student after completion of the online course.
