Most of an owner's or manager's experience with an appraiser corresponds with purchase, sale, or refinancing of a park. However, appraiser's do not only work for the bank. They can also help in estate planning or valuation services surrounding tax issues (among other things). 

 

As objective market participants, an appraiser can provide insightful consultation services as well. Whether it is insight to market rental rates, trends in rental increases, or expense structures (to name a few), an appraiser's understanding of valuation can potentially help improve a park's cash flow or operating margins. Further, they can provide relevant data to support you during the sale negotiation process.
