The Residential Accredited Appraiser (RAA) designation is awarded to appraisers whose education and experience exceed state appraisal certification requirements and is supported by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS.

  • State Certified Residential or General Appraiser for RAA designation (In those few states where the Certified Residential classification is unavailable, the requirement is state Licensed for the RAA designation.)

  • A minimum of 1,000 hours experience in addition to the experience required to obtain state certification.

  • Tested education: 45 hours of tested course work in addition to the Appraiser Qualification Board's education requirement at the time of certification.

  • A one time application fee of $100.00 per designation (which includes a non-refundable processing fee of $25.00), PLUS the quarterly prorated amount of the $100 annual maintenance fee for each designation, as listed below:
    First Quarter (January - March): $100
    Second Quarter (April - June): $75
    Third Quarter (July -September): $50
    Fourth Quarter (October - December): $25
    For ensuing years, the fee is $100 annually for designation maintenance
The program was approved by NAR's Board of Directors at the 1993 Annual Convention. The first designations were awarded at the 1994 Midyear Meeting with approximately 1,100 members maintaining one or both designations.
