Today, in the fast-paced, ever-changing world in which we operate, the value of assets is also in constant change.  This often creates situations when an accurate, up-to-date valuation is necessary.

At CD Valuation Services, Inc. our in-depth knowledge, combined with time-tested procedures and exacting standards, produce an appraisal that will meet your specific needs. Because the appraisal process is tailored to your needs, we begin with a discussion to determine the use, purpose and scope of the project.  We will cover all the parameters of the appraisal process including applicable assumptions and limiting conditions.  The definitions of value will be reviewed and we will advise on which value is applicable to your appraisal need.  

Typical appraisals and their associated values include:

Lending/Finance	Mergers & Acquisitions/Business Valuation & Consulting
Fair Market Value - Installed (in Place)   Fair Market Value - Removal (for offsite use)   Liquidation Value in Place   Orderly Liquidation Value (Removal)   Forced Liquidation Value	Fair Market Value in Continued Use   Fair Market Value - Installed (in Place)   Fair Value (FASB statements)

As our reports are developed and intended to comply with the guidelines of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), the type of written report generated will be discussed and determined by the scope, purpose and use of the appraisal.  USPAP reports can be defined as Self-Contained, Summary or Restricted Use.  Terms such as Full Narrative, Limited Scope, Walk Through and Desk Top describe various report formats that may fall within USPAP guidelines.

Based on the scope, purpose and use as described, we will make our recommendations as to the type, content, definition(s) of value and format.  Appraisals made for varying purposes may utilize similar definitions of value, but the report must be specificand incorporate the Intended Use/Intended User.

Our expert services are many, and the needs of each client are different. We listen, consult, react and execute to meet those needs.  Give us a call to discuss your project and, after we have ascertained your needs, we will give you a timetable and cost estimate.  Our goal is to produce a credible, defensible and cost effective appraisal quickly.
