常見問題

What is the salary level for Real Estate Valuers?

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary in 2023 was about $61,000. Entry-level around $45,000, senior or management roles can reach over $130,000. Salaries vary by location, experience, license level, and assessment type (residential vs. commercial).

How difficult is it for real estate appraisers to apply for U.S. skilled migration?

Quite difficult. H-1B visa requires a bachelor's degree or higher, and the employer must prove the position is specialized. Green card requires PERM labor certification to show no qualified US workers. Since demand for this occupation is moderate and many small employers are unwilling to sponsor immigration, large appraisal firms or real estate consulting companies are generally recommended.

What are the requirements to become a property valuer?

Typically requires a bachelor's degree, then completing state-mandated training programs, a certain number of internship hours (e.g., 2000 hours), and passing state exams to obtain a license. Licenses have levels, beginners must start at intern level and gradually upgrade. Continuing education maintains license validity.
