The appraiser provides an independent, objective opinion of value based on market data and property characteristics—not advocacy for a specific outcome.
Bottom Line
Preparation means access and accurate information, not repairs or upgrades. Being organized helps ensure an efficient process and a well-supported appraisal.
An appraiser relies on multiple independent and verifiable sources to develop an objective opinion of value. These sources typically include:
Property-Specific Information
Data provided by the owner or property manager, such as rent rolls, leases, operating statements, recent improvements, and occupancy details.
Public Records
County auditor records, property tax data, zoning information, recorded sales, and ownership history.
Market Data
Recent sales of comparable properties, current listings, and market trends obtained from verified commercial databases, brokers, and public filings.
Income and Expense Data
Market-supported rental rates, vacancy levels, operating expenses, and capitalization rates relevant to the property type and location.
On-Site Inspection
A physical inspection to confirm property characteristics, condition, layout, and functional utility.
Professional Research and Analysis
Appraisers apply recognized valuation methods and professional judgment to analyze the data and determine how the market would likely view the property.
By combining these sources, the appraiser develops a well-supported, independent opinion of market value based on how buyers and sellers typically make decisions in the marketplace.
