RE appraisers should not get the idea that they own the word "appraiser". More accurately perhaps we should deploy the British or Canadian use of Chartered Surveyor or Valuer. So, the definition below isn't valid in light of the numerous "appraisers" of other things than real estate.

Human Resources evaluates employees with "appraisals". Personal property has "appraisers" - think Antique Roadshow. Marine surveyors are appraisers. Geologists and petroleum engineers are evaluating drilling prospects are appraising the company assets. Assessors are appraisers. Appraisers can apply to opinions of value, of service, and a host of other attributes.
We do not own the term "appraiser".
like john doe 36 would say...it all depends on what your definition of 'is' is...
