Valuation Process Defined
The valuation process is the orderly program in which the data used to estimate the value of the subject property are acquired, classified, analyzed, and presented. The first step in the process is to define the appraisal problem – i.e., identify the real estate, the effective date of the value estimate, the property rights being appraised, and the type of value sought.
