I’m desperately and passionately in search of an Appraiser Sponsor in the Houston area. I’m willing to take a lower fee bill split and sacrifice money for time, experience, and the benefit of being able to log and submit hours for my license. 

I’ve applied for my trainee license with the TACLB, paid my application fee and submitted my required fingerprints accordingly. I’ve completed over 150 hours of QE at the Champion School of Real Estate, including all those required for an Appraiser Trainee, Market Analysis and Highest & Best Use, Site Valuation & Cost Approach, and Sales Comparison & Income Approach. I’ve reached out and contacted a multitude of Realtors, Investors, and Appraisers throughout the Houston area with very little success. I’m a Senior at the University of Houston Main Campus, and I have work experience as an Insurance Adjuster in conducting property inspections for insurance claims at times of catastrophe and crisis. 

I look forward to the opportunities that we may mutually benefit in supplying work, I diligently taking advantage of the opportunity to learn the process, gain experience, and help grow your business.
