The Compact Real Estate Appraiser - Paperback

by Jeremy Bagott (Author)

The Compact Real Estate Appraiser is a thumbnail reference for the real estate researcher, analyst or appraiser. It's a style guide for more consistent report writing; a shortcut to analytical procedures commonly used in real estate valuation; a set of 33 immutable laws; and a roundup of common elements of value, income sources and operating expenses for the most prevalent property types. It also features chapters on etiquette and leadership, eminent domain and percipient witness testimony. It was written for the junior researcher working in a small shop, the analyst pursuing his state license or the mid-career general appraiser looking for guidance and standardization.
