Residential Appraiser — Houston
You appraise the property. Our support team takes care of sales, clients, billing, taxes, and the file.
Join Appraisal Den in Houston. We have been in business since 2019, and we built the company to make appraisers' lives better. You appraise the property. We take care of the extra work, so you can do more appraisals.
Counties: Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Waller, and Chambers.
A typical workload is 2 to 3 files a day. More work is usually there for someone organized and ready to take it. When you take time off, the support team keeps the clients, and you do not come back to a slow order board.
The average appraiser makes $158,000 a year. Many make more. That is average earnings, not a guaranteed salary. Your income depends on the appraisals you complete.

What our support team does for you Sales. You do not have to hunt the next client. We bring the orders in. Client updates. The client hears from us at every step, so those status calls stay off your phone. Billing. We send the invoice and follow the payment. Getting paid is not a job you take home. Tax reporting. Payroll and the year-end tax forms are handled for you, so tax season is not your second shift. Compliance. Workfiles and credentials stay in order, so compliance is not another hat you wear. Covered costs. MLS, E&O, your license renewal, continuing education, and gas are costs we cover. Software. The software you write the report in stays current, and we cover the fee. Language support. When a client needs another language, our team takes that conversation.
