Definition of Values

Additionally, Loeb Appraisal can provide: Appraisal Analytics (Classifications & Key Value Pts.)

There are four types of valuation that Loeb uses as the basis for their appraisals:

  • Forced Liquidation Value (FLV): (previously known as “public auction value”) The estimated gross income of a well-prepared and properly advertised sale conducted on the premises at the present time. Timeframe: 2-3 Months
  • Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV): The estimated gross proceeds that could be expected from the forced piecemeal Sale (and removal) of the subject property, privately negotiated. Timeframe: 6-9 Months
  • Fair Market Value (FMV For Removal): The estimated highest gross value which a willing buyer would be justified in paying where the buyer would not continue to use the subject property in place for continued (same or similar) operations on a turnkey basis.
  • Fair Market Value (FMV In Place): The estimated highest gross value which a willing buyer would be justified in paying where the buyer would continue to use the subject property in place for continued (same or similar) operations on a turnkey basis.

The Loeb Appraisal Proven Process

Loeb Appraisal prides itself on a streamlined process for the appraisal process from start to finish. At the time the request for appraisal services is received, the team is put in place and a project plan is mapped from the inspection all the way through to the final appraisal report and quarterly follow-up.
