SRA is a designation issued by the Appraisal Institute to those who have chosen to specialize in residential real estate. This designation does require more education and experience than a certified residential appraiser. To receive this designation, the appraiser must obtain a minimum of a four year degree from an accredited educational institution. They must also meet 3,000 hours of experience requirements and pass examinations on appraisal principles, residential valuation techniques, report writing, and standards of professional practice. Fewer than 1% of all appraisers nationwide have achieved the SRA Designation.

Because of its rigorous requirements, this designation has long been recognized by government agencies, courts, land investors, and financial institutions as a mark of true excellence in the field of real estate valuation and analysis.
