What's An Appraisal?
“An appraisal is a professional appraiser’s opinion of value. The preparation of an appraisal involves research into appropriate market areas; the assembly and analysis of information pertinent to a property; and the knowledge, experience and professional judgment of the appraiser. The role of the appraiser is to provide objective, impartial and unbiased opinions about the value of real property — providing assistance to those who own, manage, sell, invest in and/or lend money on the security of real estate.”
The Valuation Process
The Cost Approach
The Sales Comparison Approach
The Income Approach
The valuation process is a systematic process and procedure that an appraiser follows to address the client’s need or question. The depth of the analysis and subsequent report, also referred to as the Scope of Work, depends on a number of factors including the intended use of the appraisal, the property type, the highest and best use of the property and market area (availability of data).
There are three approaches to value: The Cost Approach, The Sales Comparison Approach and the Income Approach. It is acceptable to complete one or all, depending on the property and scope of work.
