Real
estate appraisal is used to determine the value of the property. The
exact reason for the appraisal must be established prior to the start
of the appraisal to ensure that the correct value is assessed. The
appraiser evaluates market conditions to assist in the value
determination. Not only is the property value assessed at this time,
but the property's amenities and physical condition are also taken into
consideration. The final value of the property is decided when a
complete report including research and the accumulation of other
relevant data are completed.

The
value of a property is determined through the process of appraisal and
three different methods are used most commonly to assess a property's
value. These three methods are the Cost Approach, Comparison Approach,
and the Income Approach. The Cost Approach evaluates the cost to make
improvements to the property at the time of appraisal, minus factors
including physical deterioration, economic obsolescence, and functional
obsolescence. The final property value is called the Land Value.
Through the Comparison Approach, appraisers use other properties of
similar size, location, and quality as bench marks. The property that
is being appraised is then compared to these bench mark properties to
determine the property's true value. Finally, the Income Approach is
used to determine the property value primarily of commercial real
estate. This methodology provides an objective estimate of what a
practical investor would pay based on the net income the property
produces. The final property value is connected to all three of these
methods.

Obtaining
an appraisal of the property you intend to purchase or sell is a very
important step. Appraisals should be completed to obtain a loan, reduce
your taxes, determine insurance costs, to assist you in making your
purchase decision, help determine a reasonable price when selling your
property, government agencies including the IRS require appraisals, and
appraisals are also important if you become involved in a lawsuit. Real
estate appraisals not only protect your investment in the short term
but can play an important role in the future and this is the most
important reason to obtain an appraisal.
