Common questions
What is an AI-GRS?
AI-GRS stands for Appraisal Institute General Review Specialist. It is the Appraisal Institute's designation for appraisers who specialize in reviewing other appraisers' work, and it is held by a relatively small number of appraisers.
What is the difference between a desk review and a field review?
A desk review relies on the report and data without inspecting the property. A field review adds an inspection of the subject and, often, the comparables.
Can you review a residential appraisal?
Yes. We review both commercial and residential appraisals.
