Appraisals are prepared for lease negotiations, mortgage lending purposes, tax assessments, and more.** **Appraisers inspect the property\'s features and compare it to similar properties to determine its value.** **Duties and Responsibilities of a Real Estate Appraiser** 1\. **Identify the problem that needs solving in order to determine the "scope of work" -- Who is the client, what is the "effective date," is the estimate for estate planning purposes or to support a financing request, etc.?** 2\. **Collect data -- This includes data for the subject property itself, as well as market data in the surrounding area and comparable property data. An appraiser is also required to physically travel to the site to inspect it.** 3\. **Analyze the data -- Including understanding the property's marketability; evaluating supply/demand forces at the national, regional, and local levels; and evaluating the property's "highest and best use" (among other proprietary techniques).** 4\. **Apply the different approaches to valuation** 5\. **Reconcile the value indicators and report a final opinion of value -- Meaning the appraiser's best estimate of a fair market property value.** **Valuation Approaches - A real estate appraiser will generally employ three valuation techniques. These are:** **The Cost Approach - The cost approach is based on the concept of replacement cost. The appraiser adds the estimated land value to the estimated cost to reproduce a building with equal utility and desirability, less their estimate of accumulated depreciation to any buildings or improvements.** **The Income Approach - The income approach is particularly important for investment properties since a property's value is, in many ways, a function of its ability to generate net operating income.** **The Direct Comparison Approach - Sometimes also called the *Sales Comparison Approach*, this method is most appropriate when there have been a lot of transactions of similar properties in the area or where there are a lot of active listings of similar properties.** **Becoming a Real Estate Appraiser** **To become a licensed appraiser, there are formal coursework and experience requirements that may vary slightly by jurisdiction or region.
