INSURABLE VALUE ESTIMATE FOR CONDOMINIUMS Recent legislation in the Florida has changed how to complete condominium insurable value estimates, prompting this language in the insurable value reports: By prior agreement between the client and the appraiser, this report is the result of an Appraisal process conforming to guidelines of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, Florida Statutes 718.111(11) and National Flood Insurance Program Guidelines as promoted by FEMA as they relate to Condominium Hazard and Flood Insurance coverage. These guidelines are interpreted by association management and the appraiser with the assistance of Insurance Professionals.

Deficiency Judgment, Deed in Lieu. Short Sale Sometimes this type of economy will force a decision either on the part of the lender or borrower to make a choice among less attractive options. It is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each. An appraiser can play a role in each type of choice be it a deficiency judgment, deed in lieu of foreclosure or a short sale. Richard P. Zaretsky an Attorney in West Palm Beach, Florida presents a good comparison of the options. Neither Lenders nor borrowers want to lose money and a judge might need an opinion of value in order to fairly try a case that's being litigated in his or her court. If market value is an unknown quantity call or email this appraisal office and order an appraisal to resolve the issues. Visit the City-Data Forum, it is a good site to ask questions regarding these types of issues. Short sales can have an IRS drawback. The Jacksonville Bar Association has a good referral system if you need a local attorney. Market Value vs. Fair Market Value The first term is defined in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. The second term is required by IRS in tax lien situations or property donations scenarios. Place an appraisal inquiry if you would like a detail explanation.
