Use online real estate appraisal information resources

In today's market, investors need land appraisal and property appraisal materials returned quickly to avoid missing out on a good deal. Valuation service providers offer instant access to commercial and residential property valuations.

I recommend: Valuation Logistics and Commercial Property Appraisal are two online real estate resources that can help you provide clients with upfront, instant estimates of residential and commercial property values.

Obtain local property appraiser information

Local licensed appraisers are generally familiar with the property location. Use online property appraiser directories to help you get in touch with local, licensed appraisers.

I recommend: You can look to Appraiser Search and Appraiser Finder to locate licensed U.S. residential and commercial appraisers in your area.

Get a real estate appraisal reference

Professional appraiser organization websites are a useful real estate appraisal information resource. These websites not only provide directories of accredited appraisers, but also offer general information about the appraisal process.

I recommend: The National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers is a nonprofit professional association of appraisers that offers an appraiser search directory as well as information about property appraisal materials. The American Society of Appraisers allows you to search a database of accredited appraisers recognized in their specific discipline and service area.
