Both of these have sections on their Web sites so you can find an appraiser in your area. |
As a retired (licensed) appraiser, I highly suggest you interview any appraiser before you use them.
Make sure they understand you want a "current market appraisal" (good for about 2-3 months), and not an "insurance appraisal". if the appraiser does not know the difference between the two, walk away and find another appraiser.
