Sacramento appraisers are specialists in estimating the value of real property.  Real property consists of land, buildings, and natural resources such as water, oil, or minerals.  Estimates of value, known as appraisals, are made when property is bought, sold, assessed, taxed, condemned, insured, or mortgaged.  They may also be required in divorce actions, when partnerships are dissolved, and when property is listed as a business asset. Appraisers, especially independent fee appraisers, may give expert testimony in court.  They may also act as consultants. Real Estate Appraisers prepare a written description of the property and make an estimate of its value.  They may complete standardized checklists as they evaluate the property and the neighborhood in which it is situated. Appraisers obtain land values from county sources and sales information about nearby properties.  They also examine the income records and operating costs of income properties.  Appraisers estimate building replacement costs using building valuation manuals and professional cost estimators.  They also verify legal descriptions of property with county records,measure the property and compare the measurements with the legal descriptions.  They draw land diagrams and note conditions and special features of buildings. Appraisers analyze and evaluate the data and prepare a written report outlining methods by  which the fair-market value was estimated.  At times it is necessary for a senior appraiser to review these reports.  Appraisers generally work alone; however, consultants may be used for m1ore complex appraisals. Computers are an indispensable tool in this complex work.    

Appraisers may walk around property and climb stairs in buildings.  The Research, analysis, and writing are usually done in an office setting. Occasional out-of-town travel is required and a valid California driver's license is necessary.  Appraisers may join professional associations such as the Appraisal Institute, the National Association of Real Estate Appraisers, or the American Society of Appraisers.  Association members subscribe to a code of ethical behavior governing their conduct with both the society and
the public.
