He was very friendly and professional, took his time and took photos he needed, working around me while I was working from home. He turned around the report to me around in a couple weeks as promised. His valuation was honest, fair and not overinflated which is exactly what I wanted and needed.

Specialty appraisals in Seattle are typically more expensive than your average commercial  appraisal for many reasons.

Non conforming properties, or on-site factors such as contamination, wetlands, or encumbrances will be taken into consideration when proposing fees.

What is a going concern?

A “going concern” includes an enhancement of the intangible portion of the real property value that includes the value of the business enterprise. This is an assemblage of the land, building, equipment, marketing operations, and labor. In appraisals where there is a “going concern”, the total asset of the business and the real estate are dependent upon one another.

How long does a specialty use appraisal take?

The appraisal inspection is typically completed in less than one hour. The entire process on getting the appraisal completed will vary depending on type of property, use, complexities, location, and any external factors that may delay the completion. Appraisals utilized in litigation will often be delayed by court processes, injunctions, or mediation and trail dates getting continued. 

We always provide our clients with a reasonable timeframe to expect and stay in communication throughout the appraisal process.

What is a specialty use real estate appraisal?

A specialty use appraisal is one that is unique in terms of its current use and features a property that is likely suitable to only one type of use.

On top of the current use, aspects that will increase complexity are environmental issues, either contamination, or wetland buffers. Easements, encumbrances, or title disputes can also increase difficulty.
