This form is not to be used when appraising the following types of properties: commercial properties, co-operative units, vacant land, and properties with other than a Fee Simple or Leasehold interest. This report form can only be completed when Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data is used as the primary data source for the sales comparables.

This appraisal report is subject to the following scope of work, intended use, intended user, definition of market value, statement of assumptions and limiting conditions, and certifications. Modifications, additions, or deletions to the intended use, intended user, definition of market value, statement of assumptions and limiting conditions, and certifications are not permitted without express authorization by the client. The appraiser may expand the scope of work to include any additional research or analysis necessary based on the complexity of this appraisal assignment. Additional certifications that do not constitute material alterations to this appraisal report are permitted.

The appraiser's scope of work for this product must include, at minimum, the following (the appraiser can expand on the scope of work based on the complexity of the assignment): (1) Research, verify, and analyze data from reliable public and/or private sources which must include Multiple Listing Service (MLS) or other accepted market data source for the subject's market area, (2) Identify the characteristics of the subject property that are relevant to the purpose and intended use of the appraisal, (3) Include a minimum of 3 closed comparable sales, (4) Utilize the provided Property Condition Report (performed by a local real estate agent or broker) and other sources considered reliable to reconcile the physical condition, view or external influences of the subject property (5) Report the analysis, opinions, conclusions, and rationale for conclusions in this appraisal report.

EXPOSURE TIME:   The estimated length of time that the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS:   (An extraordinary assumption is directly related to a specific assignment and presumes uncertain information to be factual. If found to be false this assumption could alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions. Any extraordinary assumption may affect the assignment results.) Subject property report is based on the extraordinary assumption that the interior finish is consistent with the exterior condition, which is based on information and photographs provided by the Property Condition Report (PCR)/Property Condition Inspection (PCI) and the inspection/condition described within that report is accurate as of the effective date of value presented in this report. If other form of inspection was used for consideration with this report, that report will be noted in this report. The use of this extraordinary assumption, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions.

HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS:   (A hypothetical condition is that which is contrary to what exists, but is asserted by the appraiser for the purpose of analysis. Any hypothetical condition may affect the assignment results.)

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the real property that is the subject of this report based on a sales comparison analysis solely for the use by the lender/client identified in the report.

INTENDED USE:
The intended use of this appraisal report is Home Equity Line of Credit by the lender/client. This report is not intended for any other use.

INTENDED USER:

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE:
The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (1) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what he or she considers his or her own best interest; (3) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; (4) payment is made in terms of cash in U. S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and (5) the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.

CONTINGENT AND LIMITING CONDITIONS:   My certification is subject to the following conditions and to such other specific and limiting conditions as set forth the report.

  • The appraiser will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect the subject property.
  • The appraiser assumes the title is good and marketable and, therefore, will not render any opinions about the title. The property is appraised on the basis of it being under responsible ownership.
  • The appraiser will not give testimony or appear in court because he or she performed this appraisal unless specific arrangements to do so have been made beforehand.
  • Except as noted herein, the appraiser has not made an exterior or interior inspection of the subject property. The appraiser assumes that there are no adverse conditions associated with the improvements or the subject site. Unless otherwise stated in this report, the appraiser has no knowledge of any hidden or apparent conditions of the property or adverse environmental conditions (including the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) present in the improvements, on the site or in the immediate vicinity that would make the property more or less valuable, and has assumed that there are no such conditions. The appraiser makes no guarantees or warranties, express or implied, regarding the condition of the property. The appraiser will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because the appraiser is not an expert in the field of environmental hazards, the appraisal report may not be considered an environmental assessment of the property.
  • Information, estimates, and opinions furnished to the appraiser, and contained in the report, were obtained from sources considered reliable and believed to be true and correct. The appraiser does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other parties.
  • The appraiser obtained the information, estimates, and opinions that were expressed in the appraisal report from sources that he or she considers reliable and believes them to be true and correct. The appraiser does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other parties.

CERTIFICATION:   I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief:

  • The facts and data reported in this report are true and correct.
  • The analyses, opinions, and conclusions in this report are limited only by the assumptions and limiting conditions stated in this report and are my personal, impartial, and unbiased professional analyses, opinions, and conclusions.
  • I have no present or prospective interest in the property that is the subject of this report and no personal interest with respect to the parties involved.
  • I have no bias with respect to the property that is the subject of this report or to the parties involved with this assignment.
  • My engagement in this assignment was not contingent upon developing or reporting predetermined results.
  • My compensation is not contingent on an action or event resulting from the analyses, opinions, or conclusions in this review or from its use.
