Good afternoon. I am a certified residential appraiser in Colorado. I have been appraising since 2012. My wife and I are exploring the possibility of relocating to the Clearwater area as we both love it there and travel there at least once per year. I haven't been able to find many resources which explain the current pulse of the Real Estate Appraisal profession in FL. Here in CO, appraisers are in very high demand. I typically complete 10 appraisals per week, while turning down about double that amount. Are appraisers in high demand in FL as well? I realize the area, county, city has a lot to do with demand, however I am just trying to get a general feel for the need for appraisers in the Clearwater and surrounding areas. I realize an out of state appraiser wanting to enter a new market area might fall on def ears for competition reasons. Any insight you can provide or recourses you can point me in the direction of would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
