Q: What are your value definitions?

  • Fair Market Value, Removal - The estimated amount expressed in terms of money that may reasonably be expected for property in exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, both fully aware of all relevant facts, considering removal of the property to another location.

  • Orderly Liquidation Value - The estimated gross amount in terms of money that could be typically realized from a sale, given a reasonable period of time to find a purchaser, with the seller compelled to sell on an as-is, where-is basis.

  • Forced Liquidation Value - The estimated gross amount expressed in terms of money which could be typically realized from a properly advertised and conducted public sale with the seller being compelled to sell with a sense of immediacy on an as is-where-is basis.

  • Forced Liquidation (Auction) Value Concept - The estimated gross amount expressed in terms of U.S. dollars which could typically be realized at a properly advertised and conducted public auction sale without reserve, held under forced sale conditions and under present day economic trends, within 90 days of sale appraisal report. Conclusions consider physical location, difficulty of removal, adaptability, specialization, marketability, physical condition, overall appearance and psychological appeal. Further, the ability of the assets as a grouping to draw sufficient prospective buyers to insure competitive offers is considered. All assets are to be sold on a piecemeal basis "as is" with purchasers responsible for removal of assets at their own risk and expense. Any deletions or additions to the total package could change the psychological and/or monetary appeal necessary to gain the price indicated.

  • Replacement Cost New - The current cost of a similar new item having the nearest equivalent utility as the item being appraised.
