Only the Rhode Island Commercial and Appraisal Board of REALTORS’® 2024 Board Certification Form will be accepted.

12. I am a Principal/Appraiser – not a Broker. Do I still need to complete the Board Certification Form?

Yes, you are the Designated REALTOR® of the firm and must complete the form. The term REALTOR® isn’t a synonym for real estate broker or real estate salesperson. A REALTOR®, simply put, is an individual who has voluntarily sought membership in the REALTOR® Association and abides by the Code of Ethics of the NAR. A REALTOR® is someone who is licensed (i.e. salesperson, broker, appraiser, auctioneer, property manager).  Here at RICABOR, we are sensitive to the fact that you are licensed as an Appraiser and make every possible attempt to address you as such in our correspondence with you.
