Appraisal Services is Hiring State "certified" real estate appraisers interested in employment with Residential Appraisal Services must also meet the company’s standards and requirements. To be considered, provide the following: resume, copy of certification, recent completed appraisal samples (URAR, Condo, Small Income) completed without the assistance of a supervisory or review appraiser, and a list of zip codes within your desired "territory." If you are an appraiser in Illinois but located outside our normal coverage area, we urge you to submit your information as well, particularly sample appraisals, and include the zip codes which depict your "territory" if you seek referral business. If possible, necessary items should be provided as pdf attachments via email. No applicant information will ever be released to anyone out of this Company without expressed permission. Comp
Checks When an appraiser "comps" or "comp checks" a property, what the appraiser is actually doing is providing an appraisal report. If this appraisal report is unsupported, has no notes or memos in the work file, maybe has no work file whatsoever, then the appraiser would be in an uncomfortable situation. Perhaps the chances of legal action against an appraiser are minimal, perhaps not. A professional appraiser must decide if he is going to provide services which involve no property inspection, a lot of guesswork, and may vary well be in violation of USPAP Even if only a verbal or as a single sentence in an email, a "comp" sort of appraisal can carry with it the liability of a full appraisal. Many appraisers are willing to work for nothing, many are unaware the practice is unethical. All licensed appraisers in the State of Illinois are subject to USPAP. Illegal and unethical appraisal practices are investigated by the State of Illinois Department of Professional Regulation and other organized appraisal groups. Inexperienced or unethical appraisers, many who even believe the practice is just good customer service, maybe consider it part of promoting or marketing their services, make it more difficult. As part of our normal procedure, we check sales data before we call to inspect the subject. If there are obvious discrepancies, we will contact you. If there are no apparent problems, we will make the appointment and inspect the property. If the appraisal is cancelled for any reason after the inspection but before the appraisal report has been completed, 50% of the appraisal fee will be due. We prefer that instead of asking us to "Pre-Comp" or "Comp Search" a property that you use one or more of the free services to check the approximate value of the property, then order the appraisal.

Chicago based appraisal firm, Residential Appraisal
Services, continues to be one of the leading residential valuation
companies active throughout the Chicago metropolitan area,
providing real estate
appraisals for banks, mortgage companies, attorneys, and
private individuals. 
The continued success of the company is
due to the unique background and abilities of its founder, Anthony
J. Gedwill, the talents of its experienced
appraisers, and the knowledge gained from thousands
of completed appraisals. With first hand knowledge of the
Chicago area real estate market, the company has excelled in
appraising all types of residential
properties from rural to urban, single family attached and
detached, condominiums, town-homes, small income multi-unit
buildings, and vacant land. 
"Can you
check the comps? I want to know if I should order the
appraisal." This is the question appraisers are being
asked, more and more. Of course lenders or borrowers are just
seeking to avoid an appraisal fee if the property is not going to
appraise out. It's the old "cart before the horse," though. How
can an appraiser really tell you the final number without
doing the work? An appraiser is especially liable
for guessing about values. The result of any appraisal is
unknown until major portions of the appraisal are
completed.
