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

By Henry Kelly


An appraisal can be ordered for any number of reasons. An owner may want to refinance a loan to expand an existing operation. A Phoenix, AZ lender might require an appraisal before approving financing. A potential purchaser might want to see an appraisal in order to decide how much to offer the seller. The kind of commercial appraisals Phoenix appraisers generate depends on what an individual or company wants to know about the property in question.

Unlike residential assessments, the inspection of business real estate is not usually the bulk of the work an appraiser has to do in order to make an accurate analysis of a property. It often takes weeks to get good comparable sales, tenant histories, and rent rolls. The appraiser may have to make several visits to the courthouse to uncover old records not available online.

It is in an owner's best interest to be honest and forthcoming with an appraiser. Trying to inflate the value of a structure or piece of land will not be successful because this professional will gather information from multiple sources before finalizing a report. Any documentation requested, such as tax forms, surveys, and rent rolls should be turned over promptly.

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.

It is important for an appraiser to know what a client's interest in a property is before he or she makes an assessment. If the interest is simply in the real estate, then the client will receive a fee simple appraisal. A client who in interested in the worth if property is leased will need a leased fee interest appraisal. A leasehold interest appraisal is done to find out what a lease is worth to a renter.

Appraisers have an important function in the real estate world. Getting an accurate property assessment is critical if you are trying to borrow money, refinance an existing loan, or make an expensive real estate purchase. The more information the appraiser has the more accurate the analysis will be.
