Great news - as of September 10th, I am now an approved FHA appraiser.  With the financial markets tightening up their loan criteria this will be another option to allow people to purchase or refinance their home.  FHA does require some additional steps when completing an appraisal so there is an additional cost for these appraisals.  I have had several requests to do FHA appraisals in the past so I am looking forward to working with both my existing and new customers to fulfill this need.
