THE APPRAISAL PROBLEM
The Scope of Work Rule requires the appraiser to gather and analyze information about those
assignment elements that are necessary to properly identify the appraisal problem to be solved. According
to Standards Rule 1-2, identification of the problem to be solved requires the appraiser to identify the
following assignment elements1:
Client and any other intended users: The client for this appraisal assignment is
BREC. The intended user(s) of the report is BREC, and/or their assigns. No other
users are intended.
Intended use of the appraiser's opinions and conclusions: The intended use(s) of
this appraisal is to assist the intended user(s) in asset management purposes. No
other use is intended.
Type and definition of value: The following value estimate(s) are presented:
The market value of a fee simple interest in the subject property "as is," as of
February 20, 2026 (date of the property visit).
In the process of developing the above value estimate, we derived the following
value estimate:
The hypothetical market value of a fee simple interest in the subject property "as
if vacant," as of February 20, 2026 (date of the property visit).
Market Value2 is defined as:
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 and 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:
A) Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
B) Both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what he
considers his own best interest;
