Compare appraisers before you commit.
Compare specialties, locations and fee evidence before you contact an appraiser. FAIR’s standard is non-contingent fees. Some public profiles have not supplied their terms; confirm them before you agree to work.
Browse profiles yourself, or ask FAIR to review a routing request.
What is the appraisal for?
Use a purpose guide to prepare your assignment before choosing a professional.
Profile status is a signal, not a guarantee.
FAIR does not license appraisers, certify competence or reports, guarantee acceptance, or sell rank. Suitability still depends on the assignment and the professional you choose.
