Who is an Appraiser?

A real estate appraiser is an impartial, independent third party, who provides an objective estimate of value of the subject property. The appraisal is supported by the collection and analysis of data. Most licensed appraisers will provide an advance estimate of the cost to perform the appraisal, and many will commit to a fixed fee for an appraisal. It is always wise to obtain a written contract for services that includes a description of what you will receive for the fee charged – for example: A detailed written report.
