Make sure the Bank or Mortgage Broker uses a certified Arizona Real Estate Appraiser, SRA, or MAI to write your report.
It can make a BIG difference when it comes to understanding the Tucson Market. Be an informed consumer! The new trend is to hire the CHEAPEST appraiser, and that is what you get a cheap appraisal-poorly written, a poor quality report.
Real Estate Appraising takes careful consideration and knowledge of the changing market trends. Ask the Bank the price you pay and the price they pay the appraiser, there is a huge discrepancy – jcp@appraisetucsonrealestate.com
Good appraisers won’t work for nothing – their time is valuable!
