Appraisers are professionals who assess the value of properties, such as homes, commercial buildings, and land. They use various methods, including market analysis and property inspections, to determine a fair market value. Their evaluations are essential for real estate transactions, mortgage approvals, and tax assessments. In addition to real estate, appraisers can specialize in other areas, such as art, antiques, or business valuations. They often hold certifications or licenses, ensuring they adhere to industry standards and regulations. Their expertise helps buyers, sellers, and lenders make informed decisions based on accurate property values.
