How does one go about being a real estate appraiser in Pa.?

fjmjr106: How does one go about being a real estate appraiser in Pa.?
Looking at a career change. I was recently having my house refinanced and had to have it appraised. When the appraiser came, she spent about 5 min. here and demanded $ 350 at the door. I realized that that’s what I would like to do to get my foot in the Real Estate “door”. Does anyone have any info on how one would go about getting certified to do this in the state of Pa?

YOU WOULD CONTACT THE DEPARTMENT OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSES FOR THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. USUALLY THERE IS AN EDUCATION REQUIREMENT AND A TEST, FOLLOWED BY INTERNSHIP WITH A FIRM FOR 2 YEARS OR SO BEFORE YOU COULD OPEN YOUR OWN COMPANY. BUT, YOU WILL NEED TO CHECK WITH THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. KEY WORD SEARCH, PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE APPRAISER LICENSE. GOOD LUCK, I KNOW YOU WILL BE AWESOME.
