What to know about Appraisers
In Australia the professional you want is a valuer, and the document is a valuation. The word appraisal has a different, narrower meaning here: it is what a real estate agent gives you when they estimate what your property might sell for. The Valuers Registration Board of Queensland puts the distinction bluntly, noting that in Queensland valuations of real property can only legally be undertaken by a valuer.
