Appraisal Value Concepts

The value concept utilized in appraisals is determined by the purpose and function of the appraisal, and the resulting values will reflect the impact of various markets. There is usually a significant difference in the amount of value from one concept to another. In many cases, clients request multiple values using two or more value concepts. This is especially helpful for comparisons when considering various alternatives.
