Real Estate Appraiser

We are looking for a meticulous and experienced Real Estate Appraiser with a focus on right-of-way acquisition. Your expertise will be crucial in determining fair market values and assessing just compensation for damages. In this position, you will leverage your skills to support fair compensation for property owners impacted by right-of-way initiatives, ensuring appraisals are conducted promptly to align with project timelines. If you are driven by a desire to contribute to infrastructure development and have strong analytical abilities, we encourage you to apply and join us in our mission to improve transportation systems while honoring property rights.

In this position, you will assess the suitable techniques required to establish property values. It is essential to recognize any concealed problems or absent elements not depicted in the plan and communicate these to the supervisor for minor adjustments. This should be done via the Right-of-Way office program if a claimant is involved, or through a more formal response for issues that could impact deadlines. The supervisor will review the completed work to ensure compliance with state and federal appraisal standards.
