Outer Banks appraisers are busy these days, as the market is hot! Appraising is a process of reaching an estimate of value. This process has stages. They include: definition, plan, data collection, application of the three approaches to value, and final estimate of defined value. This process assists the appraiser in reaching an opinion, and an accurate value. The major phase includes the application of the three approaches to value, and then picking one or more. These approaches include the Market Data, Cost, and Income approaches. The three approaches are reconciled, and the most applicable approach is used. Sometimes more than one.
