Many states require all real estate appraisers to be, at a minimum, state licensed or state certified and have fulfilled rigorous education and experience requirements and must adhere to strict industry standards and a professional code of ethics.

On site certified appraisers at Alternative Appraisals.

Because much private, corporate, and public wealth lies in real estate, the determination of its value is essential to the economic well-being of society. It is the job of the professional appraiser to determine these values by gathering, analyzing, and applying information pertinent to a property.

Unquestionably, the professional opinion of the appraiser, backed by extensive training and knowledge, influences the decisions of people who own, manage, sell, purchase, invest in, and lend money on the security of real estate.

Because the appraiser is trained to be an impartial third party in the lending process, this professional serves as a vital addition to the system, protecting real estate buyers from overpaying for property as well as lenders from over lending to buyers.

A full appraisal involves the physical inspection of the real property being appraised and can take from approximately fifteen minutes to several hours. A desktop appraisal takes significantly less amount of time because there is no need for a property tour.

Full Appraisal vs. Desktop Appraisal

Full Appraisal:
After the initial inspection of the property the appraiser spends time touring through the neighborhood or area. The purpose of this tour is to search for comparable sales that have sold within the last six months to a year or so. When the field work is finished, the appraiser completes the report at his office which normally takes between three to six hours to complete depending on a number of factors.

Desktop Appraisal:
The desktop appraisal takes significantly less time mainly due to the fact that it’s not necessary to take a physical tour of the property.  The desktop appraisal includes a searches of comparable sales. The desktop appraisal is still considered a certified appraisal since it is produced by a certified appraiser.

What not to expect from a real estate appraiser.

The appraiser is not a whole house inspector, engineer, architect, electrician, plumber, HVAC technician or contractor. The appraiser tours the property to get an idea of the general condition and room count.

An appraisal is not a guarantee of condition. The appraiser will ask about any visible problems and those which may not be visible, and will do their best job in estimating any impact on value attributable to those problems. They will also do their best job in accurately estimating the positive impact from improvements or additions.

You are encouraged to seek the advice of experts if you have questions about the structural or mechanical aspects of any home.
