    Book Description
     
    Writing an appraisal report is writing for a deadline. The clock is ticking for both the appraiser and the client. The appraiser wants to complete the appraisal assignment efficiently and communicate the value conclusion to the client as soon as possible. The client, in turn, wants to receive a report that is timely, readable, and credible and one that provides the information needed to answer the client’s question about property value.
     
    Both parties feel the pressure, but it is the report writer who bears the responsibility for clear communication. Effective Report Writing: A Guide for Appraisers and Reviewers will help practitioners fulfill that responsibility by carefully considering the purpose and execution of the reporting task and by applying the techniques of professional writers to the report-writing process.
