Advance Your Hotel Career- Become a Certified Hotel Appraiser or Certified Hotel Valuer
If you are an experienced appraiser looking to specialize in valuing hotels or a new valuer starting your career, you need to obtain a hotel valuation certification. By successfully completing my online course "How to Value a Hotel" and a final project, you will become a Certified Hotel Appraiser (CHA) or a Certified Hotel Valuer (CHV) the world's only hotel valuation certification. (Note: Both certifications are the same. Depending on your local professional terminology, you may want to be certified as an "Appraiser" or "Valuer.") Adding CHA or CHV certification to your resume and LinkedIn profile will certainly set you apart from all other appraisers/valuers and industry professionals.
Obtaining the Certification requires the demonstration of proficiency in valuing hotels by completing the "How to Value a Hotel" online course.
Experienced hotel appraisers can obtain the CHA certification based on their past education and hotel valuation experience. For more information on the criteria for obtaining the CHA certification based on experience- contact Steve Rushmore at steve@steverushmore.com
Just over 250 hotel appraisers have earned this prestigious certification. This directory contains their names.
Required Hotel Appraisal Knowledge for Certification
To value a hotel, an appraiser needs to know how a hotel functions as a going business, not just real estate. Terminologies such as RevPAR, ADR, GOP, OTA’s, Uniform System of Accounts for Hotels, Competitive Indices, Segmentation, Limited Service, SMERF, and Owner’s Priority are important concepts to understand. An appraiser needs to be able to evaluate a property’s relative competitiveness, market share, fair share, penetration, and market mix in order to project future occupancy and average rate. Then the appraiser performs a fixed and variable component analysis in order to forecast income and expense. Lastly, the most accurate hotel valuation model utilizes a mortgage-equity approach.
Benefits of the CHA and CHV Certifications
After becoming a Certified Hotel Appraiser or a Certified Hotel Valuer you will receive a certificate suitable for framing (via email). With your permission, we will e-mail pdf copies of your certificate to prospective employers and anyone else you designate acknowledging your Certification. Your name will also appear in a Directory of CHA and CHV members located at www.certifiedhotelappraiser.org
