You Need An Appraisal. Now What?
How to Qualify the Appraisal Professional
An appraisal deliverable is only as good as the appraiser who reviews and signs the report and the work performed to arrive at the values.
- Do you need a formally educated, tested, and accredited appraiser?
- Does your transaction require an appraisal report that is USPAP-compliant?
- Do your business decisions require appraisals backed by current research and market evidence?
- Do the values need to be arrived at using proven appraisal techniques that can stand up in court?
- Would you feel more comfortable trusting an appraiser with over 15 years’ experience in multiple industries?
Your choice of appraisal firm will determine if you’ll receive an unqualified opinion written on the back of an envelope or if you’ll receive an evidence-based, thoroughly considered, USPAP-compliant appraisal performed by an appraisal expert.
At For What It’s Worth Appraisals, Inc., we strive for the highest degree of accuracy and reliability by considering the facts, implementing the latest appraisal techniques, and providing our clients with reporting that is useful for their purposes.
