REAL ESTATE as seen through the eyes of an Appraiser is an educational and insightful exploration into a key aspect of property valuation. This book takes you on a journey, diving deep into the various elements that an appraiser can encounter during the inspection of a parcel.
The problem stated: There is great variability among real estate parcels-no two are the same. The goal of this book is to enhance a person's ability to quickly, fairly and competently size up a parcel whether it be the subject or a comparable. With coverage of more than 100 items that the appraiser may find above on or under the ground this book will greatly enhance an individual's ability to better understand each real estate parcel. The result is you will have a better idea of the appraisal problem.
Real estate professionals, students and enthusiasts alike will find value in this book. Each chapter provides an in-depth look at different aspects of a property, from the seen such as the vegetation to the unseen such as shallow bedrock or drainage issues. The author's analysis and clear, concise explanations will be useful in choosing better comparable sales, and thus providing a more supportable value conclusion. Alternately, for those who are purchasing on their own account it may simply mean choosing a better property.
