This questions could be answered by doing estate appraisals New York and hiring a competent appraiser to do it for you.

Here are some tips you may follow in finding for professionals to employ their services. Search online or through the yellow pages or appraisers that are based in your area. It is imperative to find someone that handles the market area your property is located in.

Ask recommendations from the people you know on who to acquire the services of as they may have acquired one for similar purposes before. Get information regarding their experience with the appraiser and if the services provided were satisfactory for them. They would not probably recommend anyone that did not satisfy their needs.

Research about their background and the experience and qualifications they possess to handle the assignment you required. The state requires them to have a license in operating so check if they are licensed and the status it currently has. This will also tell the different type of properties that are allowed for them to be appraised.

Check the national registry if the appraiser has any suspensions, revocations or disciplinary actions against them.
