Holding an Appraisal Institute membership designation sets members apart from the rest of the appraisal community. Members holding Appraisal Institute designations are recognized as the most qualified in their fields.

In addition to designated members, the Appraisal Institute also has two other categories of membership: The Associate Member and the Affiliate Member.

Associate Member An Associate Member is an individual who has met the minimum Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) criteria for general or residential certification (or equivalent education and experience/competency) and is actively working toward an Appraisal Institute designation. Affiliate Member An Affiliate Member is an appraiser who does not wish to obtain a designation, or an appraiser trainee/para-appraiser, or a government or review appraiser. Also qualifying for this member category are attorneys, bankers, vendors, students, etc.
