Why an appraiser?Why do you need an Appraisal Inspector?
They can be called upon as a consultant or as a valuation specialist to provide an opinion on:
- the current value of property being bought or sold
- future value of property being built
- value for mortgage or lending purposes
- value to assist in investment decisions
- value of assets
- value of property involved in a legal dispute
- verification of damage claims
- value to properly measure property tax assessments, capital gains and other taxes
- value of property to determine compensation when property is expropriated
- consulting - feasibility studies, property management, lease analysis, highest and best use studies
Obviously, the key word is "value". An appraiser may be hired by a company or institution to perform any of these duties, but you can also hire an appraiser independently to give you an objective opinion on any of these subjects.
The Benefits of TTBappraisers.com
You wouldn't buy a car without a mechanic looking at it first. You wouldn't take out a prescription without consulting with a doctor. So why would you buy a house without having a professional valuation?
It's a little known fact that most sellers of properties do not typically have an appraisal prepared. That's all the more reason for you to hire someone who'll give you the professional insight you need to make an informed decision.
Knowledge is the cornerstone of appraisal. It is extremely important to have a licensed appraisal inspector with years of education and training and put his or her knowledge to work for you. It is their professional responsibility to keep up to date with changes in market trends and laws that affect real estate values. Combining their knowledge and expertise with a thorough investigation of the property and the area, an appraiser will give you a professional opinion that you can trust.
Knowledge is your bargaining tool when buying a home. You want to be sure you pay a fair price, get a good mortgage rate and receive assurance that the house you get is worth what you pay. An informed purchaser should place the following clause into their Purchase Agreement:
"Subject to a full appraisal being performed and meeting or exceeding the agreed offer".
When you hire an Appraiser to look at a home you're thinking of buying, you are hiring:
- someone who will provide objective judgment
- someone who has the education and training required to back up their value estimates
- someone who adheres to a professional set of values and standards
- someone who can tell you what the real cost of buying a house SHOULD be
You're not just looking for a house; you're looking for a home. Someplace where you will spend several years and build many memories. It's not just an investment of money; it's an investment of yourself and the years you spend there.

The Importance Of A Professional Real Estate Appraisal
Because much private, corporate, and public wealth lies in real estate, the determination of its value is essential to the economic well-being of society. It is the job of the professional appraiser to determine these values by gathering, analyzing, and applying information pertinent to a property.
Unquestionably, the professional opinion of the appraiser, backed by extensive training and knowledge, influences the decisions of people who own, manage, sell, purchase, invest in, and lend money on the security of real estate. And because the appraiser is trained to be an impartial third party in the lending process, this professional serves as a vital "check in the system," protecting real estate buyers from overpaying for property as well as lenders from over lending to buyers. |
