NBAREA requires all members to participate in the Mandatory Professional Liability Insurance Program. Members not involved in fee appraisal work must still participate in the program, but are charged a nominal fee per year for coverage. We recommend that you consult with appraisal professionals in the area where you hope to practice to determine the type of work and positions that are available. It is the candidate’s responsibility to obtain a position and find a mentor for fulfilling the mandatory Applied Experience Program. Prospective candidates should be aware that they may need to re-locate in order to obtain the necessary experience (breadth & depth).
