Appraising Unique Properties Course Content
They're the "different" ones. Whatever makes an appraisal assignment unique or unexpected is probably
rare, but it can challenge an appraiser's patience, thought, and awareness of applicable
techniques. Yet, there are established principles and practices to deal with
almost every "oddball" property.
This course covers how an assignment can
become complex, and considerations of appraiser competency; the
types of value that may apply to complex or unique appraisals, how
government regulations can create complexities that affect the
appraisal process, and how to note and disclose complex
circumstances in an appraisal report.
It also looks at applying accepted
methodology and techniques in a non-traditional manner, concerns for
appraising portions of a site and understanding problem areas,
evaluating non-structural or special features that make an appraisal
more complex, and considering and analyzing easements.
For residential properties, it offers an
understanding of how data collection and analysis requires
specialized knowledge, how to apply adjustments to comparables of
complex properties, applying cost and income approaches, completing
an analysis and reconciliation, and how to recognize and approach
appraisals of special properties.
