Use the "appraiser's name" parameter only to search for a specific appraiser. Perhaps you know an appraiser's last name and you know what state they are in but do not know the phone number or email address. By searching for the appraiser's name you can find the other information if they are in the directory. It is suggested that the "state" parameter be the only one used in conjunction with "appraiser's name". Also, the "appraiser's name" parameter is useful for appraisers to find their own listing and verity that their information is current.
