A REAL ESTATE APPRAISAL IS A PROFESSIONAL OPINION.

Appraiser Associates of Louisiana, Inc. employs a team of three licensed appraisers, including two Members of the Appraisal Institute (MAI). With over 75 years of combined appraisal experience, our team offers the expertise to provide a thorough and supported opinion of value.

We are professionals and do quality work delivered on time. Our professional support staff expedites reporting and ensures prompt response to opportunities and projects.

An opinion of value is only as good as the qualifications and experience of the person delivering the opinion. At Appraiser Associates of Louisiana, we set ourselves apart through our commitment to education and to thorough research above and beyond the standards for commercial appraisal services.
Here's how:

Each of our appraisers at Appraiser Associates of Louisiana is either designated or actively pursuing designation from The Appraisal Institute. Two of our appraisers earned their MBA from respected, full-time programs.
Many firms rely solely on MLS data to produce appraisals. Relying completely on MLS data ignores a large amount of market data outside of MLS. This results in an incomplete picture of the marketplace. Our firm employs the use of a private data group that researches each commercial sale in Lafayette Parish and Iberia Parish.
We strive to verify each and every comparable we use in our reports with a person familiar with the sale. Accurate, verified data is the the basis for a quality appraisal.
Our firm forms an opinion of land value for every assignment. Improved properties have the value allocated between the land and improvements.
Our firm researches commercial sales throughout south Louisiana when we are engaged to work in specific parishes.
