What to know about Appraisers

A real property appraisal is an independent, documented opinion of value prepared by a qualified appraiser for a stated purpose and a stated effective date. Lenders rely on them, courts accept them, and the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial assessment bodies expect them to be supportable. The Appraisal Institute of Canada notes that appraisers are independent and provide an assessment of value rather than advocating for a target number, and that an appraiser's fee is generally a flat fee based on the complexity of the assignment and the hours required, not on the value of the property being appraised.
