Question: Generally, how much do appraiser trainees get paid? I was offered $25 per deal, is that good?

Answer: It really depends ... are you doing real estate appraising?  art appraising?  sports memorabilia appraising?  From a real estate appraising standpoint, are you doing commercial or residential appraising?  Generally residential appraisals range from $300-$500/appraisal.  Commercial appraisals range from $500-$50,000 and up.  Residential appraisals can be completed in hours or days ... commerical appraisals usually take several days to weeks.  Additionally, each state has requirements for appraisers some require trainees to be licensed before they assist with an appraisal ... so $25 per job, that really depends on what kind of appraising you are doing.
