An appraiser collects and analyzes parcel data leading to a value decision. Work functions include locating and gathering real estate market data; valuing land, improvements, and any damages to the remainder, if any; analyzing data and preparing findings; defending valuations; completing right-of-way cost estimates utilized for programming and budget purposes; completing and participating in the Preliminary Group Inspections (PGIs) and completion of PGI reports; and determining and addressing uneconomic remnants, including loss of access remainders.
