"Appraiser and Home Inspector Dream Books for beginners or experts!" Author/Reviewer: C. Robbinson from New York Real Estate Appraisal from A to Z and Home Inspection Business from A to Z  -  We have one of the busiest appraisal and home inspection companies in our area. We exclusively work for mortgage lenders and banks who are very picky about getting high quality reports and evaluations. We have been using this "A to Z" appraisal book and the "A to Z" inspection book for years as MANDATORY reading for all of our appraisers and home inspectors when we hire and train them. They're the simplest to understand and the most thorough books covering all necessary topics that we have found on the market. These books will tell you the realities of evaluating real estate without giving you a bunch of fluff - that's why we like them so much. Our appraisers and inspectors get years of expertise and knowledge in one book without having to make the mistakes they would if they had to learn from their own experiences. It saves us a lot of time in getting our employees up to speed doing professional reports and evaluations for our banking clients. We can't afford to send our clients poor quality reports since there's a lot of competition in our business. These books keep us at the top of our game and keep our clients happy. That's profitable for both us and the banks and mortgage lenders that are our clients.
