How to choose an appraiser
Short Answer
Experience
Insist on your appraiser possessing a minimum of 20-years’ experience and preferably all that experience in the same market.
In this case,
- the Inland Empire – San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
Well Educated
Require at least a four-year university degree of your appraiser. But a four-year university degree is the starting point, not the completion. Your appraiser needs to show a commitment to continuing education and advancement. Michael Mathis has more than 5 times post university appraisal education than actual university class time.
Attitude/Ability/Process
Your appraiser must meet your deadlines but without compromising quality and accuracy. Your appraiser must be committed to continually improving the quality and accuracy of his/her work through study and the use of the most modern tools, appraisal techniques and mathematical programs.
