June Appraisal Commentary
The following is a summary of the talk given to professionals at the June 18th H. Pearce commercial Real Estate conference at the Maritime Center at New Haven in which Marc was asked to give the investment and professional community current thoughts and ideas of how appraisers must adapt in this market place, how the appraisal community is being viewed, what steps appraisers are undertaking in such a difficult lending environment, and other current appraisal topics and techniques and comments/questions in the audience.



This talk, update, and discussion time is to focus on what a commercial and residential appraisal office must process, what due diligence must be done, and how the attorneys, accountants, and professionals in this room and their clients might better understand the most current appraisal issues and dilemmas and how we can work together to understand the June 2009 process.


Craig Fuchs, VP and commercial manager, asked me prepare some short remarks about the current state of the appraisal profession, how loans are and are not being priced or given, the current valuation process, and how it all of this affects your clients, you as their advisors in doing business in the June 2009 mostly uncertain economy. And then on Tuesday afternoon Craig labeled this talk as "Property Valuation in a Rapidly De-Valuing Economy"---whew! Craig -We will stay a little more upbeat as the value is not necessarily declining as the newspapers & media say at least here in CT.
Appraisers by nature study a particular niche and try to
