What do
I look for when I hire an appraiser?
If your state licenses real
property appraisers, make sure your appraisers are licensed.
Also make sure they are accredited members of an
organization the represents professional appraisers. Real
property appraisers usually specialize in residential,
commercial or rural property work. Make sure you choose
someone familiar with the kind of property involved and
someone who has experience working in the appropriate area.
You can search the ASA
directory to find an
ASA-accredited appraiser in your area.
Once you have located an
accredited appraiser with the expertise you need, ask the
prospective appraiser to supply a résumé and references.
Every reputable accredited appraiser will provide this
information and you shouldn’t hire someone who doesn’t.
