    Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commitment

    Empowering Individuals

    Appraisal Institute empowers individuals and nurtures an environment that inspires and encourages diversity, equity and inclusion.

    The valuation profession has a responsibility to achieve greater racial, ethnic and cultural diversity among appraisers. Recruiting for greater diversity makes us stronger and more representative of the communities we serve and contributes to greater cultural awareness.

    We are committed to accelerating diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives and partnerships. Our efforts include the Appraiser Diversity Initiative in collaboration with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the National Urban League; the Practical Applications of Real Estate Appraisal (PAREA) program; and our Minorities and Women Course Scholarship from the Appraisal Institute Education and Relief Foundation.

    Creating a more equitable housing environment requires collaboration and solutions from all players in the field, from real estate brokers and agents, to banks, to government agencies.

    Let’s work together to bring about positive change in the valuation profession.
