Real
Estate Appraising From A to Z
By Guy
Cozzi
Real
Estate Appraisers earn $300.00 dollars or more for each appraisal
they do and can often do 2 or more a day. To be an appraiser there
is no background in real estate necessary. All that is necessary
is basic knowledge that can be obtained in this book and a good
business plan.
However,
this book need not only be useful to the appraiser. It would also
be beneficial to a homebuyer who could use the book to make themselves
aware of how an appraisal is done and what to look for.
An appraisal
is the estimated market value of a dwelling, building or piece of
property. They are used not only to establish a selling price for
a house or property but when borrowing money. People trust an appraiser
to help them make one of the biggest decisions of their life.
There
are many useful lists and charts throughout this book, such as a
list of tools that would be helpful in doing an appraisal and a
list of questions to ask when beginning an appraisal.
Each section
of an appraisal is covered in depth with some sample appraisals
to help guide the novice. There are samples of business cards and
letterheads to give the new appraisers an idea of where to get started.
This
is the second book I have reviewed by Mr. Cozzi. The previous title
I reviewed was The Home Inspection Business from A to Z His
books are well laid out and very professional. They would be a fine
addition to any aspiring appraiser or homebuyer's library of reference
works.
