Appraisals

[dc amateur]

Can anyone give names of reputable appraisers to use in Washington D.C. or Bethesda, MD areas? How long does one need to allow for appt. or to get appraisal done? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Martin Fuller's in the DC area and has a great rep. The appraisal will probably take 1.0 to 1.5 hours, and you probably will need to schedule an appointment at least a few days in advance.

I used Martin Fuller, and he was great! I would recommend him to everyone....the appt. ran ~2 hours, but no complaints b/c he was very informative!

ep - am curious if the appraisal was flat rate or by the hour...there are advantages and disadvantages to either.
