Real Estate Appraisers Needed
Welcome and thank you for investigating what we believe will be an opportunity for you to earn money while continuing your focus as a real estate appraiser. We sincerely think you will agree that in this challenging time of economic instability it is critical that all avenues of possibility are explored to maintain fiscal competence by aligning oneself with the dynamic trendsetters of the moment. We are that trendsetter.
You Chose Your Properties
If chosen to represent us in your area, you will have the opportunity to choose which properties you want from those we offer you to work. Simply put, we will offer you a property we have under contract and you will decide whether you wish to take it. Once you accept to represent it, you will prepare your case and work with the County Assessors Office to reduce the assessed value. Sometimes this can be done with informal negotiations and other times you must appear before the Assessment Appeals Board. Once the Assessment has been reduced, we get paid.
You Earn A Percentage Of Our Fee
For your successful work, you will receive 50% of the fee we collect from the Client owning the property whose value you reduced for the year under appeal. We work entirely on a contingency basis so if there is no savings, there is no fee. But once we have collected for the work you accomplished, we will send you your 50%. Here is an example:
Residential Property Under Appeal
2009 Assessment $700,000
New Value $400,000
Reduction Achieved $300,000
Annual Savings $3,000
Our Fee $1,500
Your Fee $750
That can add up. Fast. How many properties will you have? How many properties do you want? We have thousands of properties under appeal, with hundreds scheduled each month.
At CAPTA we have an extensive Client list. Over the years we have saved thousands of Clients millions of dollars and currently have over $2 billion of appeals filed. Our Clients love us. You get the idea.
But you are a residential appraiser? No problem. Our work actually requires no license. We will train you on how to present a commercial case. You experience is welcomed but not necessary. Your understanding of basic appraisal is valuable but our job is to find the lowest possible value allowed by law. You understand appraisal is an opinion and the true value is a range. We exploit that range to find the lowest proveable value. Commercial properties offer far greater opportunity for this range as few commercial properties are alike. Similar but subject to far more adjustments (opinions of difference). Again, you get the idea. So, if you choose the higher value (higher fee) commercial cases, the rewards can be impressive.
Let’s look at the commercial possibilities:
Industrial Property Under Appeal (Actual Hearing From March 5, 2010)
2009 Assessment $13,132,969
New Value $10,750,000
Reduction Achieved $2,382,969
Annual Savings $28,596
Our Fee $14,298
Your Fee $7,149
It is fairly easy to see the potential. And we are not even sharing the information on the $37 million apartment complex which was reduced to $15 million! Do the math!
To summarize, you must be able to talk value to the Assessors Office appraisers. You must be able to go to Assessment Appeals Hearings, and present and defend your case as well as cross-examine the Assessor’s case. You must be agressive, analytical and a fast thinker. But most of all, you must think outside the box. Don’t forget, we have the experience and we will train you.
