• PREMIER PRO TIP – Appraising historic homes can be more complex than appraising newer homes, as there are many unique factors that must be taken into account. In order to be as accurate as possible, home appraisers depend on more extensive research, documentation, and analysis in the process of building the report. Finding a trustworthy, local home appraiser is a must when it comes to completing an appraisal on a historic home.
