The Appraisal Institute is a Chicago, Illinois-based international association for professional real estate appraisers formed in 1991 from the merger of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and the Society of Real Estate Appraisers. (Additionally, prior to this merger, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers was known informally as the Appraisal Institute). As of March 2009, the association has more than 24,000 members and 91 chapters throughout the United States, Canada and overseas.[1]

Education
The institute’s two most widely known designations are the SRA designation (from the former Society of Real Estate Appraisers) for appraisers of residential real estate and the MAI designation (from the former American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers) for appraisers of commercial and industrial real estate. However, a legacy designation from the American Institute, the SRPA (residential) designation remains supported by the combined organization.
The Institute provides residential and commercial real estate appraisal education, research, publishing and professional membership designation programs. Its extensive curriculum of courses and specialty seminars, offered both in the classroom and online, provide a solid education in valuation methodology for both the novice and seasoned practitioner. Its mission is to support and advance its members as the choice for real estate solutions and uphold professional credentials, standards of professional practice and ethics consistent for the good of the general public.
