How do they match: Appraisers and Assessors of Real Estate

  • Check building codes and zoning bylaws to determine any effects on the properties being appraised.
  • Estimate building replacement costs, using building valuation manuals and professional cost estimators.
  • Inspect properties, considering factors such as market value, location, and building or replacement costs to determine appraisal value.
  • Interview persons familiar with properties and immediate surroundings, such as contractors, home owners, and realtors, to obtain pertinent information.
