Types of Appraisal Reports

Bixby Appraisal Group provides two types of reports — Appraisal Report & Restricted Appraisal Report.  

An Appraisal Report is typically between 50 and 150 pages in length that summarizes the appraiser’s value conclusions which provides enough detail and description to convince the reader that the appraisal is correct and complete. This will typically include photos of the property, sales comps and rental comps, and adjustment grids explaining the appraisers reasoning, adjustments and value conclusions. It contains a reconciliation and of course a written certification.

A Restricted Appraisal Report is a less costly alternative compared to Appraisal Reports.  Restricted Appraisal Reports state the appraiser’s value conclusion with minimal or no in-depth discussion, and with brief but appropriate property and market descriptions, and a reconciliation and written certification.  The appraiser’s analysis and comps are contained in the work file, and the typical length may be from about 10 to 50 pages.
