  • We use the cost approach and the market approach. Using the Cost Approach, the appraiser starts with the current Replacement Cost New (or in some circumstances the Reproduction Cost New) of the property being appraised and then deducts for the loss in value caused by physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence. The market approach is a method of determining the value of an asset based on the selling price of similar assets. Both approaches should be used to find an accurate value. At times we will discuss our numbers with others who buy, sell, and work in the industry to confirm our results.
