An appraisal in commercial real estate is a professional assessment of the value of a commercial property. The process of evaluating the value of a commercial property is done by a licensed commercial property appraiser, and the report includes an estimate of the property's market value.

In most cases, the lender will hire a licensed third-party appraiser to perform the appraisal. The appraiser will visit the property and take into consideration several factors, including the location, condition of the property, recent sales of similar assets in the area, and more. Once the appraisal is complete, the appraiser will provide a report that includes their opinion of the property’s value.

The purpose of an appraisal in commercial real estate is to establish the value of a property for loan collateral, investment, or tax assessment purposes. Additionally, appraisals can also be used to determine insurance values and for settling estates and disputes or for estate planning.

When appraising commercial real estate, three main methods are used: the sales comparison approach, income capitalization approach and cost approach. The sales comparison approach is based on the principle that the value of a property is determined by comparing it to similar properties that have recently sold. The income capitalization approach is based on the principle that the value of a property is determined by the income it generates. The cost approach is based on the principle that the value of a property is equal to the cost of reproducing the improvements on the land, less depreciation. Appraisers use information such as construction costs, land value, and depreciation to determine the value of a property using this method. It's important to work with a certified and experienced appraiser to ensure that the appraisal is as accurate and informative as possible.
