What is an appraiser?

An appraiser is a real estate professional who specializes in providing opinions of value (appraisals). Most appraisers are real estate appraisers, who specialize in real property. Other appraisers specialize in other types of property, such as gems or machinery and equipment. Professional appraisers have taken courses and been supervised during their training period. In Florida a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser must pass a rigorous test having completed 180 hours of continuing education, 3,000 hours of practical experience over at least 30 months as a trainee.
