Real Estate Appraiser dot com was created by a certified general real estate appraiser for appraisers to advertise their appraisal services online. If you are a certified real estate appraiser and interested in placing an ad, see advertising guidelines. Real Estate Appraiser dot com does not place any appraisal orders. We are not a real estate appraisal management company. A link is placed to your appraisal company's web site. Your real estate appraisal office should have their own web site. You set the appraisal fees and terms for any appraisal order that a potential client places with your real estate appraisal firm. Real Estate Appraiser dot com suggests you have an appraisal agreement signed by the responsible party ordering the appraisal. We also suggest appraisers collect your appraisal fees up front when accepting any appraisal assignment ordered online. Click the blue highlighted states to find a real estate appraiser.
