We talk a lot about seeking out the best appraiser so that you get the best appraisal report \u2014 how finding a CMEA<\/a> is important so that your report will stand up to scrutiny. But once you get that report, what do you do with it? How do you read it? Sure, you can just flip to the value determined, but it\u2019s\u00a0helpful to be better informed and more involved in the process.<\/p>\n

One way to get involved in the appraisal report process is to ask your CMEA to show you a draft of the report. That way, you can clear up any misunderstandings before the report is finalized. Make sure you can understand the report, that the table of contents is clear, and that the report is grammatically correct.\u00a0Take a close look at the definitions of value and the methodology used. As you read through these sections, make sure that the definitions and methods your appraiser used make sense to you. If not, asking questions is completely appropriate. Next, take a look at the subject assets section. This section will describe the items being appraised and their condition. If the intended recipient of your appraisal report wants more detail than the appraiser provided, the draft stage is a good time to ask for that detail.\u00a0The next section to look at is\u00a0specific market considerations. This will not come into play in every report, but sometimes, the equipment or machinery being appraised can be affected by market conditions. Changing market conditions or regulations, or an influx of inexpensive machinery from overseas, can affect the value of your equipment. Look\u00a0closely at this section of your report and discuss it with your appraiser if necessary.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s nice to be able to trust the experts, but you\u2019re the expert in your business and you know how you\u2019ll be using the appraisal report. By making sure the report you receive meets your expectations and contains the elements you need,\u00a0whether you\u2019re using the report to get a loan, make a purchase, or make a sale, it\u2019ll go much more smoothly.<\/p>\n
