The demand for more appraisers in the real estate industry continues to go up while the supply is declining. Unfortunately, this scenario has emerged as a negative reality. But a new book may guide the way as far as career opportunities for a home-based business, according to a press release.
Figures gathered from the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) National Registry recently disclosed more than one-half of appraisers in the United States have reached the age of 51 to 65 years. This is the age bracket when people start thinking of retirement.
Illinois State Certified Real Estate Appraiser Sharon P. Carson is looking forward to attracting a new generation of appraisers. Carson has written a book entitled, "How to become a Real Estate Appraiser (3rd Edition)” which offers one-of-a-kind and valuable insights into the Real Estate Appraisal profession.
Carson discusses some of her personal and professional experiences in her highly informative book. Carson, an expert residential real estate appraiser with more than 35 years of experience, provides a novel point of view inviting readers to look at what she considers, "The best home-based business in America.”
The author believes this is an often-ignored profession that now offers enhanced entrance opportunities.
“There were several factors on a personal level that attracted me to the profession. One of them is the opportunity to become my own boss while making a lucrative income in the process,” Carson said. “But even more important is the chance to set my own work hours and schedule working from home which allowed me to remain close to my three children during their formative and school years.”
