If you want to get the best value out of your home you need to choose the right appraisers. You must take into consideration a number of important factors before choosing an appraiser. If you choose the wrong appraiser you can lose out on lots of money or time. Different appraisers are also necessary for different types of homes and properties.
Just a few types of real estate include industrial, commerical or vacant land. Also for each kind of those properties different licenses may be necessary. Make sure your appraiser has the right qualifications for the job. as of now there are three types of license. The licenses are: licensed residential, certified residential and certified general. Basic residential appraisers can appraise 2-4 multi family residences with a price range of under 1 million dollars. Certified residential appraisers can appraise the same properties as licensed appraisers but can exceed 1 million dollars in value. General certified appraisers can appraise both commercial and residential of all values.
There are several kinds of appraisal reports. Some of these reports are for: Conventional, VA and FHA mortgage loans; estate purposes; foreclosure proceedings, damage/loss determination; eminent domain cases and divorce proceedings. All of the reports require a different skill level from the appraiser. Just as a criminal defense lawyer would not be appropriate for a divorce proceeding, a residential appraiser would not be appropriate for a high rise, commercial building.
In cases of a mortgage, you must use a certified appraiser in many cases. HUD, a part of FHA requires that all appraisers be certified instead of just basic residential. FHA must approve the certified residential appraiser before working with them. Most lending companies will refer you to a certified appraiser. Contact your loan company before hiring an appraiser to avoid any costly mistakes. Most certified appraisers are listed with banking institutions. If your appraiser is not on the lenders list and you get the appraisal you will be wasitng your money. The lender will order a new appraisal report from an appraiser on the approved appraiser list.
