Narrative Report Writing 5 - Presenting Economic Data
by Administrator on Mar 11, 2013 • Narrative Writing • 2083 Views
Some appraisers, who have good data from a government source can simply cut chart graphics and tables out of their government publications and paste them directly into their appraisal reports. If the reports are not copyrighted, many government publications are not, its one method of getting the basic economic information that you need without having to collect it from multiple sources and then create you own tables and graphs. If you have a single good data source then it's just a matter of discussing changes and trends for your reader. If there is a copyright notice on the data that you would like to use, contact the author and ask for permission to copy the information into your reports. Its likely that your reports are read by only a few individuals and if you advise the author of this very limited distribution you may get his permission to use it.
Confused and Stubborn Clients
by Administrator on Mar 11, 2013 • Business Operation • 926 Views
Have you ever had a phone call from a past client or a potential one who just doesn't want to hear what you have to say? I have had many, you tell them facts about a property that they want appraised and after your explanation how the appraisal should be completed they just say "that can't be right!" One example that I have seen played out over and over again is the elderly care facility / group home that is being run within a single-family residence. The owner wants a normal conventional loan and contacts a conventional lender, they have a great down payment and they will pay a premium interest rate so the lender really wants the deal and usually wants to close it quickly. I have seen these as the first and as the appraiser of last resort.
