No, it doesn\u2019t. And just because a certain appraiser is certified doesn\u2019t mean he or she is automatically the best fit for the appraisal. Before you go ahead and pick a CMEA out of the phone book \u2014 assuming you still have a phone book, that is \u2014 be sure to keep some important considerations in mind.<\/p>\n Is this someone I want to work with? Do they have the right personality to create a positive working rapport?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n What types of appraisals has this person done in the past? Is it a varied list, or have they focused on just one thing?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Did they just fall off the truck? Is this their first appraisal or their ninety-first?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Does this person have a problem with me asking for references? If so, why?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Is this person easy to contact if I have questions? Do they have a website, e-mail address, phone number, etc., that are all easy to find?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n In the age of websites like Angie\u2019s List, where you can read both positive and negative reviews of service providers, it only makes sense to perform even the simplest vetting to make sure your CMEA is a good fit. But when you\u2019re putting together your short list, be sure to exclude all the non-CMEAs out there. That should be a good start.<\/p>\n
