She has a network of appraisers specializing in various property types.
A specialized appraisal manager assembles a team of appraisers and facilitates from start to finish by expertly managing complex assignments.
I proudly wrote the ASA course taken by appraisers for learning how to successfully manage valuations of large, multifaceted groupings of properties. I organize teams according to the requirements of each assignment, the appropriate scopes of work, and provide one point of contact for the convenience of my client.... oversight by one, for the expertise of many.
Some assignments require specialists within the same appraisal discipline while others include properties in different disciplines and different specialties.
"An example of a multifaceted assignment in need of a manager to assemble the appropriately credentialed team may look like this..... A divorcing couple owns various property types including a sports memorabilia collection valued by a personal property specialist, a jewelry collection valued by an accredited Gems & Jewelry appraiser, four residences valued by a Real Property appraiser, custom furniture and antiques valued by an Antiques & Decorative Arts appraiser, along with farming equipment valued by a Machinery & Technical Specialties appraiser, a vintage car collection valued by an automobile accredited appraiser, plus an extensive rare book collection valued by a specialist, while I value the art collection and manage the whole team."
