ANTIQUE APPRAISAL: COMMERCIAL APPRAISAL

Black’s Law Dictionary defines an appraisal as “a valuation or an estimation of value of property by disinterested persons of suitable qualifications” and “the process of ascertaining a value of an asset or liability that involves expert opinion rather than explicit market transactions.”
                                        
There are two distinct property appraisals: personal and real. A real property appraisal is commonly known as a real estate appraisal. Real estate is the land and anything permanently affixed to the land, such as building, fences and those things attached to the buildings, such as light fixtures, plumbing and heating fixtures, or other such items that would be personal property if not attached. Also, refers to rights in real property as well as the property itself. Commercial appraisal of personal property is tangible, movable property which is utilitarian, collectible or decorative, or in combination. In other words, all the items in a home or business that are not permanently fixed to the real property.

A commercial appraisal typically refers to an independent valuation of the assets within a business. The most common commercial appraisal items found in business include machinery & equipment, fixtures, office equipment, lobby furniture, office furniture, fine art, decorative arts, and computer equipment and software.   

At EmailAppraisals.com we perform appraisals on personal and commercial property items. A commercial appraisal involves examination, identification, market analysis and report production. The most common value approach in a commercial appraisal is the Market Comparison Approach to Value. It entails determining the most relevant market and comparing the subject items to other similar items that have recently sold in that market. The appraiser must have an advanced understanding of the value characteristics in each item he is appraising.

When you have a need for a commercial appraisal we suggest you pay for the services of an accredited appraiser. An accredited appraiser should adhere to a professional code of ethics. The most important role an accredited appraiser plays in a commercial appraisal is as an independent, disinterested provider of value. When you compensate an appraiser for his time he can maintain impartiality.
