For a house, condo, or small rental of up to four units, a Certified Residential or Licensed Residential appraiser is the usual choice. Licensed Residential appraisers are limited to simpler homes under $1 million, so go with Certified Residential for anything larger or unusual. Commercial buildings, non-residential land, and properties with five or more units need a Certified General appraiser. Whoever you hire, make sure their license is active in Virginia before they start.

Can an appraiser licensed in another state appraise property in Virginia?
