The job
Appraisers work in Los Angeles
Appraisal demand in Los Angeles follows the housing stock. The county holds a large share of older single family homes, condominium towers in the basin and hillside properties that lenders want looked at closely, and each sale or refinance behind them can start a search for an appraiser. The searches are local. People type the neighbourhood they live in, the property type they own and the lender deadline they are working to. Paid search in this trade is modest compared with the volume of free searches, so the firms that publish pages for each part of the city and each property type collect the enquiries that paid ads never see. The field is a mix of small owner run practices and multi appraiser firms, and the ones that publish consistently are the ones that turn up when a homeowner or a loan officer searches.
