Advancing the Value of Residential Appraisers & the SRA Designation

The Residential Appraiser Committee is committed to delivering tailored, high‑impact messaging that elevates the expertise, credibility, and value of SRA Designated Members, empowering appraisers, educating end users, and strengthening the profession for the future.

Our History

Originally formed in 2004 as the Residential Appraiser Project Team (RAPT), the group evolved into the Residential Appraiser Committee (RAC) in 2022–2023.

RAC was established to support the Appraisal Institute’s mission to recruit and retain residential appraisers and to strengthen the value proposition of AI membership, particularly for SRA Designated Members.

Our Mission

Per Regulation No. 7, RAC’s core purpose is to:

  • Recommend programs to the Board of Directors that expand networking, mentorship, and career outreach opportunities for residential appraisers.
  • Support partnerships with organizations committed to growing the residential valuation profession.
  • Champion initiatives that enhance visibility, relevance, and demand for residential appraisers.
