Certification in real estate refers to an appraiser's formal attestation of freedom from bias in an appraisal report and the official acknowledgment of one's expertise, often mandated by state regulations.
The General Accredited Appraiser (GAA) designation is awarded to appraisers by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), signifying a high level of expertise in non-residential property appraisal.
A Real Estate Appraiser is a professional who evaluates and estimates the value of properties. The appraiser considers many factors, including location, condition, and market trends, to provide an unbiased opinion of the property's market value. Their services are crucial for transactions such as buying, selling, refinancing, and property taxation.
