Miami has the largest home appraiser roster of any city in Florida. Certified Residential appraisers, who handle one-to-four unit residential valuations, make up the clear majority of the roster, and a substantial share carry the Certified General designation, which covers commercial and other complex property types. Together the two credentials give Miami coverage for both routine home valuations and larger assignments. The large majority of appraisers listed for Miami include a phone number, and a small share hold licenses in another state. Dade County also includes appraiser bases in Coral Gables, Hialeah, Miami Lakes, and Miami Beach, giving buyers and lenders several nearby cities to check alongside Miami itself.
About appraisal licensing in Florida
Home appraisers in Florida are regulated by the Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board (FREAB) under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Florida's residential tier is Certified Residential (1-4 unit homes); Certified General appraisers may value any real property, including commercial. One important Florida distinction: the county 'Property Appraiser' is the elected tax-assessment office, not a private appraiser. To get a market-value appraisal of your home, you hire a state-licensed home appraiser like the ones listed here, and you can verify any license on the DBPR lookup.
