Charlotte Douglas looking for real estate appraisers

CHARLOTTE – The city is looking for a “stable of appraisers” at Charlotte Douglas International Airport mainly for future land purchases, according to CLT Spokeswoman Lee Davis.

On Monday, the city issued a request for qualifications from firms interested in appraising land for the airport. Responses can be submitted to the city anytime between now and Jan. 3. Selected parties will be notified in February, according to the city’s website.

Davis said the airport is looking for up to eight firms with which it could work to assist in land deals around CLT. If chosen, the firms would work with the airport for three years, she said.

According to the RFQ, “The city is seeking firms whose combination of experience and personnel will provide timely, cost-effective and quality professional services to the city. The city intends to award multiple contracts as a result of this RFQ and assign specific parcels to each of the successful firms for either appraisal services or review appraisal services.”

The RFQ may be picked up in person at 5601 Wilkinson Blvd. or accessed on the airport’s website. Interested firms are asked to submit RFQ responses to Kevin Hennessey, community programs manager at the airport, at the same address listed above.
