With the March 2 launch of its Facebook and Twitter accounts, the Appraisal Institute has entered the realm of social media. Members and others interested in the real estate valuation profession can stay up-to-speed on all the latest news, products and developments from the Appraisal Institute and around the profession by following AI on Facebook and Twitter for daily – and even up-to-the-minute – breaking news.

The Appraisal Institute will utilize Facebook and Twitter in order to keep members and other industry professionals apprised of ‘real-time’ industry developments and to empower them with the information they need to compete successfully in today’s ever-changing market. The Appraisal Institute’s use of social media resources will supplement existing communication vehicles such as Appraiser News Online and is intended to bring a new level of immediacy and responsiveness to AI communications.
