Study Notes
Appraiser Qualifications and Responsibilities
- Appraisers must possess knowledge and experience to complete assignments or must have mechanisms in place to acquire them.
- Appraisal records must be retained for a minimum period, typically five years after the assignment's completion.
Appraisal Process and Rules
- Developing an opinion of value without invoking the Departure Rule is considered a standard appraisal.
- Invoking the Departure Rule leads to a different opinion of value, allowing for flexibility in following USPAP guidelines.
USPAP Compliance and Review
- Review appraisers can only conclude and report on compliance based on the appraisal report they review.
- The current USPAP version includes ten Statements on Appraisal Standards, with retired standards noted; these statements offer directives rather than being strictly classified as 'Standards.'
Advisory Opinions and Compliance
- Advisory Opinions provide guidance on USPAP but do not enforce compliance.
- Practices violating USPAP should be removed to maintain appraisal integrity.
Conditions and Legality
- Verification of conditions met in an appraisal does not alter the effective date of the value opinion.
- The Appraisal Standards Board develops, publishes, and amends USPAP.
Record Keeping and Assumptions
- Record Keeping falls under specific USPAP rules meant to ensure proper documentation.
- An assumption that could alter the appraiser’s conclusions if proven false is considered a critical element in the appraisal process.
Types of Assignments
- USPAP identifies two types of appraisal assignments, each requiring distinct approaches and considerations.
- An appraiser typically utilizes three approaches to analyze property value.
Departure and Accountability
- All parts of a Standards Rule from which departure is not permitted are binding and must be adhered to in the appraisal.
- Departure applies specifically to circumstances allowing modification of appraisal methodologies.
Responsibility and Definitions
- If an appraisal is performed by one appraiser and signed off by a review appraiser, the original appraiser is responsible for the appraisal.
- The term 'Client' in USPAP refers to the party engaging the appraiser.
- Real estate ownership encompasses the interests, benefits, and rights inherent to the property.
Real Estate Characteristics
- 'Real Estate' encompasses not only the land but also any permanent structures on it.
- Land is appraised considering its highest and best use according to market analysis.
Market Value and Historical Analysis
- For market value appraisals, analysis of prior sales within a minimum time frame (commonly three years) is mandatory.
- When applicable, appraisal includes analyzing projected cash flow returns and investment reversions.
Review Appraisals and Retrospectives
- A review appraiser can form a differing opinion of value based on additional analysis or information beyond the reviewed report.
- A retrospective appraisal assesses the value of a property at a past date, often accommodating specific analytical needs.
