Practice Tip

When performing a comparative market analysis or broker price opinion for a client or potential client, be sure to document the recent sales of comparable properties upon which you base your analysis. Identify the results of your analysis as a "probable sales price" only and not the "market value" or an "appraisal." In your written report, state that "This is a comparative market analysis and not an appraisal and should not be used for lending purposes."
