Feasibility - Land Utilization Studies

Appraisers are often required when counties, cities or towns are planning certain uses of land, rezoning, implementation of housing developments, traffic infrastructure, cost benefit analysis and a whole host of various projects. Appraisals are also needed for proposed construction of many different types of projects.  Our appraisers take the responsibility to deliver an accurate appraisal report that is a necessary response to the question of fair market value.

Property Tax Assessments

Challenging tax assessment has become necessary in many areas, as some non-residential property has been over-assessed.  A real estate appraiser can provide accurate answers to the question of value, which may save several thousand dollars in the period of a few years.

Non-Residential Reports

Putnam Kruse prepares different types of commercial, industrial and special purpose property reports that all comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).  These include both complete, and what was formerly termed limited appraisals, in either summary or restricted use reports.  The firm specializes in limited use, market-value based, non-residential reports.  These limited reports typically only develop the market approach to value in full, but still provide as current and credible of information to lenders and property owners as other costly alternatives.  These reports can also be completed in less time than it takes to do a self-contained or summary report.
