Definition of Values from Loeb Appraisal

2011 has started with a flurry! In Q1 2011, Loeb has performed more appraisals for clients looking to underwrite new business than in the past 24 months. This demonstrates the pent up demand within the economy from the last couple of years. Creating lots of business in the appraisal world.

One particular banker recently asked Loeb to send him definitions of values so that he could continue to educate his team. We were more than happy to help as we have found the better educated our client is the better the entire process works.


There are four types of valuation that Loeb uses as the basis for their appraisals:
  • Forced Liquidation Value (FLV): (previously known as "public auction value") The estimated gross income of a well-prepared and properly advertised sale conducted on the premises at the present time.
    Timeframe: 2-3 Months

  • Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV): The estimated gross proceeds that could be expected from the forced piecemeal Sale (and removal) of subject property, privately negotiated.
    Timeframe: 6-9 Months

  • Fair Market Value (FMV For Removal): The estimated highest gross value which a willing buyer would be justified in paying where the buyer would not continue to use the subject property in place for continued (same or similar) operations on a turnkey basis.

  • Fair Market Value (FMV In Place): The estimated highest gross value which a willing buyer would be justified in paying where the buyer would continue to use the subject property in place for continued (same or similar) operations on a turnkey basis.
