Real estate appraisal is a complex undertaking and we’d like to share some essentials with you. We appraise properties utilizing three basic techniques:
- Sales Comparison Approach – developed by studying recent transactions of comparable properties and adjusting for differences
- Income Capitalization Approach – based on a property’s income-producing capitalization potential
- Cost Approach – the cost of reproducing the property
Though oversimplified, these are the fundamental approaches employed by competent appraisers. These approaches indicate the manner in which real estate relates to the current economic climate. All three approaches are not appropriate for every property.
Appraisal & Acquisition Consultants is thoroughly competent in all three areas so that we may select those approaches appropriate to the situation and apply them skillfully. We take into consideration supply and demand, highest and best use, feasibility, anticipation of future earnings and more in arriving at value conclusions.
