As a licensed and certified real estate appraiser the earnings for appraisers began declining 3 years ago. Presently, 1/3 of the appraiser have left the profession or are in Chapter 13 or foreclosure because of the decline in appraisers respect and bullying by lenders and real estate agents. My pay, expenses etc. have decline to 20% of my former amount 5 years ago. If anyone wants to be an appraiser at this time I would say NOT. Wait 2 years there will again be a demand for appraisers at a decent remuneration.
