Our Process
Our approach is careful , systematic, and informed by decades of appraisal experience in the local market. Our appraisers carefully develop a Scope of Work based on the specific characteristics of the subject assignment and then systematically apply it in the development of our opinion of value. We begin the process with a thorough analysis of your property, assessing its current physical and economic condition. Possibly the most significant part of the process is the highest and best use analysis, which is often overlooked or misunderstood by the untrained appraiser. Once the appropriate Scope of Work is developed for the assignment, we then complete a market study, examining comparable properties, market trends, and economic indicators. Finally, we compile our findings into a comprehensive report, providing you with a detailed and accurate appraisal of your commercial or agricultural property.
