By: Real Estate Property Appraiser Keys to Profit Florida is thankfully increasing their standards for real estate appraisers across the great sunshine state. Here in Central Florida I have seen the need for increased standards and regulation for quite some time. A skillful and experienced real estate appraiser is not easy to come by. Nowadays a lot of house moms, college kids, and retirees are pursuing work as part-time appraisers. The skill and expertise required to properly and accurately assess a home however demands more than just a 72 hour cram course taken over eight days. Beyond knowing your market, being skillful in using data to make accurate calculations, and applying your experience in the given area (mine being Central Florida for over 30 years), professionalism is also something many forget. When you deal with banks, lenders don't have a lot of time and they need a quick turnaround of an appraisal. You therefore have to be attentive to their needs and time constraints. Otherwise you are more of a burden than a blessing to the home buying process. Until recently many states did not require individuals to meet specific qualifications before being allowed to perform appraisals. The Appraisal Institute came about as a result of the need to have professional unbiased estimates prepared by knowledgeable and trustworthy practitioners. Today every state maintains an appraiser regulatory law. Nevertheless professionalism is not established by memberships, designations, and licenses alone. While a certificate of completion from a one-week course can be a good foundation, it does not always ensure ethical practice on the job. Experience always exceeds education alone. Beyond the academic training, a professional appraiser also must possess strong communications, investigative, and analytical skills. What good is it if an appraiser has knowledge without the ability to communicate his observations and findings? Orderly, logical, and a grammatically correct manner of communication is equally if not more important. A professional appraiser is someone who thinks and speaks clearly, possesses sound judgment, and writes client reports in a concise persuasive manner. Ambiguity and inconsistency are unacceptable. Good appraisers are like detectives always seeking essential information from diverse individuals and sometimes reluctant sources. They are naturally inquisitive, ask hard questions, and enjoy hunting for information. An outstanding appraiser's objectivity and sensitivity to new trends causes them to be connected and tuned into the heartbeat of the marketplace. Because market value is often shaped by the needs, desires, and motivations of the marketplace, an appraiser must objectively estimate value beyond their own personal preferences and judgments. Hence a good appraiser must be emotionally detached, reasonable, and truthful. An experienced appraiser is head and shoulders above the rest, particularly one who has lived and worked in the area his entire life. Only by reason of use, interaction, and ongoing engagement can one adequately assess the current market and predict future changes. This is why it is often best to employ a real estate appraiser who has lived and worked in your area their entire life. Before choosing an appraiser to work for you, seek out someone who is not only licensed and certified, look also for prerequisite skills and experience. Better yet, if you can find a native born and bred local, someone who really and truly knows your territory and market, he can strategically prep and position you to be one step ahead of the pack.
