Commercial Appraisals Phoenix Appraisers Generate Are Tailored To Their Clients' Needs

By Henry Kelly


Appraisers have all kinds of clients who need property assessed for a variety of reasons. A Phoenix, AZ financial institution might require one before lending funds to purchase a piece of real estate. Prospective buyers often want a current fair market value for a building they are interested in. A business owner who intends to expand company facilities can order an appraisal to get the whole structure refinanced. The types of commercial appraisals Phoenix appraisers generate depends on the intended use and the interests of the parties concerned.

Inspecting the property is just the first step in the appraiser's job. Some people assume that once that is done a report should be generated within a day or so. In fact, a good appraiser takes a lot of other information into consideration when doing an evaluation. It may takes weeks to find appropriate comparable sales to gauge values. Rent rolls and vacancy data can be critical when it comes of assessing the real value of a piece of real estate.

It is important for the property owner to be as honest and forthcoming as possible with an appraiser. Everything the owner says will have to be verified through other sources, so it hurts the credibility of the individual to misrepresent the facts. An appraiser needs verification of income, tax forms, plats, and other data in order to write a complete appraisal report.

All appraisers have to abide by a strict code of ethics. They work for the client who is paying them for the appraisal. If the lender orders the information, the appraiser will not give confidential information to another party unless permission is given.

Appraisal reports take three basic forms. The first, and most requested, is the restricted use report. It includes basic information that can be viewed only by the client. Summary reports are more detailed and more expensive. Rarely are self contained reports requested. The appraiser includes all the information drawn about a property in one of these reports and charges more for it than the other two.

When looking at an appraisal report it is important to make note of the date. Appraisers will either assess property based on the date of inspection, some date in the past, or a future one. If there is a significant change in the real estate after the date of the appraisal, like storm damage, the numbers will not reflect the current value of the property.

A client has to let the appraiser know what his or her interest is in a property in order to correctly analyze the data and come up with an accurate value. Those with an interest in the real estate only need a fee simple appraisal. A leasehold appraisal will evaluate what a lease is worth to a tenant, and a leased fee appraisal values the property if leased.

In order to accurately assess a piece of real estate, an appraiser needs to know certain things. He or she must know the client's interest in the property and what type of report is to be generated. What the client is going to use the appraisal for is also important for accurate valuation.
