Local family-run real estate investment group is seeking an experienced real estate appraiser for desktop valuation and litigation support work related to condemnation, easement, and right-of-way matters.

This role is focused on practical, supportable analysis, not full narrative appraisal reports. We are looking for someone who can move quickly and provide clear value insight across multiple properties.

• Experience with eminent domain / condemnation / easement valuation
• Certified Appraiser (TX preferred), or strong relevant experience
• Familiarity with DFW / North Texas markets is a plus
• Comfortable working on restricted-use or desktop assignments
• Ability to turn around assignments quickly

Additional Notes:

• This is a budget-conscious, project-based role
• Ideal for:
• Independent appraisers
• Trainees working under a supervisor
• Retired or semi-retired appraisers
• Opportunity for ongoing work if it's a good fit
• Potential for expanded scope (including testimony) if needed

Please include:

• Brief summary of your experience
• Relevant project or case experience (if available)
• Your preferred fee structure

Application Question(s):

• Do you hold a real estate appraiser license or certification?
• How many years of real estate appraisal experience do you have?
• Do you have experience with condemnation, eminent domain, or easement valuation?
