More Terms Used in the Appraisal Process



At the Rabin Company we are a family-held industrial auction and real estate investment company that has a focus on the acquisition and sale of industrial equipment and facilities around the world.  This is our second installation of blogs dealing with terminology used by the industry for determining valuation in an asset-based lending or disposition process.

The American Society of Appraisers defines the following terms based on standard appraisal theory: 

·         Fair Market Value in Continued Use with Assumed Earnings - An opinion, expressed in terms of money, at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts, as of a specific date and assuming that the business earnings support the value reported, without verification.

·         Fair Market Value in Continued Use with Earnings Analysis - An opinion, expressed in terms of money, at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts, as of a specific date and supported by the earnings of the business.

·         Fair Market Value (Installed) - An opinion, expressed in terms of money, at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts, considering market conditions for the asset being valued, independent of earnings generated by the business in which the property is or will be installed, as of a specific date.

·         Fair Market Value (Removed) - An opinion, expressed in terms of money, at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts, considering removal of the property to another location, as of a specific date.

Our professional asset appraisal services provide an essential starting point for any asset-based lending or disposition process.   At Rabin we base valuations on our actual sales as well as sales values in the marketplace, and we consistently deliver asset values to banks and corporations that they know they can rely on.  

In addition to being specialists in providing companies with expert asset valuation and asset recovery services, we also run an in-house commercial real estate investment and management company.
