"REAL ESTATE APPRAISING IS A BLEND OF ART AND SCIENCE"
It is a mathematical attempt to mimic and quantify the 'market's' response to numerous physical attributes that define a specific property, at a select point in time. It's not only about seeing the black and white, but also the many nuanced shades of gray.
Tom Makoujy, SCRREA
"I CONSIDER RELOCATION APPRAISING ONE OF THE PUREST FORMS OF THE ART"
There are no artificial constraints placed upon the appraiser...Simply, I am tasked with determining the most probable sale price of the transferee's home, in "as in" condition, based upon a specific market period. Once the property sells, I am graded for accuracy. I use this 'report card' to fine tune my analysis of the market. No other appraisal form provides this opportunity.
Tom Makoujy, SCRREA
"IN NEW JERSEY, THE PHRASE "TAX APPEAL" IS A MISNOMER"
You don't appeal your taxes, you appeal your property assessments- and being successful in an appeal is all about knowing the 'rules of the game'. Those rules are determined by state statute, interpreted by superior court justices, and applied by county tax boards. They also favor the municipality, as the municipal assessor is given 'the assumption of correctness'. Often mistaken by the tax payer, the value defined in a tax appeal is not 'Market Value', but rather 'True Value' (with its own set of definitions). In the end, there is little 'true' about it.
