Connnecticut Chapter History

The Appraisal Institute is the result of the January 1, 1991, unification of the appraisal profession's two most respected organizations: the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and the Society of Real Estate Appraisers.  The Appraisal Institute draws on more than 60 years of experience.

The Appraisal Institute is the acknowledged leader in residential and commercial appraisal education, research, publishing and professional member designation programs.  The Appraisal Institute is composed of general appraisal members who hold the MAI, SREA or SRPA designation and residential appraisal members who hold the SRA or RM designation.  Currently, the Appraisal Institute offers one general designation, the MAI, and one residential designation, the SRA.

Identified by their experience, knowledge of real estate valuation, these members adhere to a strictly enforced Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

The Connecticut Chapter of the Appraisal Institute (CCAI) was established in 1991.  The CCAI is a statewide chapter.  CCAI was formed from the mergers of Connecticut Chapter No. 38 - Society of Real Estate Appraisers and Connecticut Chapter American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers No. 19.
