Supporting the Next Generation of Appraisers By Encouraging Development and Training
Solidifi® is committed to appraiser advocacy and ensuring that appraiser trainees receive the guidance they need to succeed.
Our goal is to be actively invested in the growth of appraiser trainees and support them on their path to becoming fully licensed appraisers. Solidifi works with top lending institutions that allow for the use of trainees.
Promoting Appraiser Growth and Development
Solidifi is proud to support new appraisers through our Appraiser Trainee Mentorship and Scholarship Program. As part of the Program, Solidifi joined the Appraiser Development Initiative™ (ADI) as an Advisor Sponsor and In-Kind Sponsor that will provide scholarships and mentoring for new entrants to the appraisal profession.
The Appraiser Development Initiative™ (ADI) is a partnership between the Appraisal Institute, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the National Urban League. The Appraiser Development Initiative™ is designed to attract new entrants to the real estate appraisal field. Since 2018, ADI has been a driving force in educating and developing new real estate appraisers by providing scholarships, mentorship, and resources.
Improving Accessibility and Diversity in the Appraiser Profession – Trainee Spotlight
Marcus Knight was the first trainee to participate in the Appraiser Trainee Mentorship program and was awarded a scholarship through the ADI. He completed his required coursework in October 2020 and received his trainee license in January 2021.
Thanks to his partnerships with Solidifi and Appraisal Institute, Marcus is working regularly with an appraiser mentor and is on his way to becoming a fully licensed appraiser.
