I'm a licensed appraiser. I'm employed by a county tax assessor for ad valorem appraisal work. I'm interested in doing some fee work on the side in the county I reside in (which is different than the one I'm employed in.)
My problem is all I've ever done is appraisal work for the county assessor. I've never done fee work...we call it the 'fee world'. So I'm a little confused as to where to start...
Should I contact a couple of the local appraisers in my area and ask them about mentoring me until I get going? I emailed one of the local appraisers that is located near my house about it. I'm a little nervous about it...I know (atleast here) there is that unspoken 'dividing line' between fee appraisers and the ad valorem appraisers.
I've taken my courses, I know my job, and I understand the rules and regulations...but some of the rules and regulations and general practice are slightly different when it comes between me (ad valorem appraiser) and the fee world.
Any advice....and be gentle.
