Florida State Page – Appraisers

Florida, sometimes called the “Sunshine State,” is the fourth most populous state in the United States but has the second highest number of real estate appraisers in the country. The majority of appraisers in Florida are licensed as Certified Residential appraisers. Florida appraisers are licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

When it comes to Florida Appraiser’s Errors and Omissions Insurance, OREP specializes in offering the best combination of price and coverage to real estate professionals. OREP provides same day coverage & confirmation (most cases).
