CRE Appraiser

Ik its on here a but just wanted to speak freely.

Been doing appraisals for about 2 years now and not sure if its for me or not. Should get my CG license within 6 months if i stick with it. I like the wlb and flexibility but the day to day is miserable. Since the markets arent good right now either making a switch will be very difficult. Ive done a few inspections and much rather make a long drive than sit on my desk on excel and costar all day.

For people who are in appraisal, why do yall do what you do? Ive heard it gets better after getting the CG and even better after MAI. Is it that much better? Is it worth it? What will the comp look like after CG going forward? What will the hours be like after the CG?

For people who used to do appraisal and switched careers, why? Do yall miss it? Do you ever think about going back? Is it worth making the switch?
