Executive Summary
Concise statement of purpose, client, intended use, effective date, and the appraiser’s final concluded value with a short rationale.
A well-prepared Property Valuations Report supports reliable decision-making, reduces lender and tax risk, and creates a defensible record if a value is later questioned or audited.
Common creators and recipients of Property Valuations Reports include licensed appraisers, lenders, tax professionals, attorneys, insurers, and buyers or sellers.
Each party has different use cases and acceptance criteria; ensure the report meets the recipient’s technical and legal requirements before submission.
