👋 What are 3 traits you should look for in a home appraiser?
1️⃣ Attention to Detail: Appraisers must meticulously inspect and evaluate various aspects of a property including its quality, condition, and unique features.
2️⃣ Analytical Skills: Appraisers need strong analytical skills to interpret data, market trends, and other factors that influence property values. They must be able to interpret complex information and arrive at fully defensible valuation conclusions.
3️⃣ Impartiality and Integrity: Appraisers must remain an unbiased third party throughout the appraisal process. Appraisal reports should be based on factual evidence, without being influenced by external factors such as personal biases or pressure from stakeholders.
