With the high amount of bank-owned, preforeclosure, and short sale properties listed for sale in the South Florida market place, many buyers & sellers are finding it increasingly difficult to estimate what a property is really worth.

This is where a professional Real Estate Appraiser with years of experience can really help.

Look for an appraiser who has at least 5 years of full time experience, and one who has completed at least 1,500 appraisals. In the property valuation field, knowledge goes hand in hand with experience. The more experience an appraiser has, the likelyhood increases that he/she also has greater knowledge as well.

Real Estate agents often do a fantastic job of estimating a property's value. Sometimes however, buyers and sellers are not sure whether the information given to them by the agent is reliable. In this case, an experienced Real Estate Appraiser can give a totally unbiased value opinion, which may or may not back up the agent's estimate.
