Miami Real Estate Appraisers

Whether you’re purchasing or selling commercial real estate, developing land as an investment, or conducting any other type of real estate transaction in Miami, a professional property appraisal will streamline the process and establish the fair market value of any property. Most official real estate forms and documents include a line item of the estimated property value, yet only a licensed and certified appraiser is qualified to provide a completely objective evaluation along with a detailed and comprehensive written report.

The Appraisal Process

The appraisal process includes the research, compilation and analysis of all pertinent data as it relates to the client’s specific requirements. Slack, Johnston & Magenheimer, Inc. provides several types of reports tailored to the client’s needs.

Estimating the Market Value

Highest and Best Use

Highest and best use is defined as "the reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four criteria that highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility and maximum productivity." A property’s existing use may not necessarily be the property’s highest and best use.

Sales Comparison

In its most basic form, this approach is built on the premise that the market value of a property is partly derived and comparable to surrounding properties.

Cost Approach

Since the market obviously relates to cost, this approach takes into account and analyzes market trends as defined by two specific elements: Land value and land improvements, minus depreciation.

Income Approach

Generally reserved for valuations for commercial and investment properties, determining the market value using the income capitalization approach relies on the perspective that the potential earning power of real estate is significant when calculating its actual value. Income capitalization techniques are used to analyze sales data that measures potential profit and loss.
