RAA designation (source: National Association of Realtors® - http://www.realtor.org/appsourc.nsf/pages/designationinformation)
RAA – Residential Accredited Appraiser is a designation awarded to appraisers by the National Association of Realtors ® that specialize in residential real estate appraising.
 In 1991, the National Association of Realtors ® established “The Appraisal Section” after the former American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers voted to disaffiliate with NAR and merge with the society of Real Estate Appraisers to form the Appraisal Institute. In 1994, the section created two designations, GAA and RAA, for Appraisal Section members who meet tested education requirements that exceed the requirements for state licensing. Appraisers may obtain both designations. The program was approved by NAR’s Board of Directors at the 1993 Annual Convention.
Criteria for the RAA designation are:
- Must be a REALTOR® in the National Association of Realtors®.
- Must be a State Certified Residential or General Appraiser.
- A minimum of 1,000 hours experience in addition to the experience required to obtain state certification.
Completed 45 hours of tested course work in addition to the Appraiser Qualification Board’s education requirement at the time of certification.
