Appraiser profile
Bruce R. Berkson
Arizona Certified General Real Estate Appraiser #30680
Bruce R. Berkson is a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser based in Sedona, Arizona, with more than 35 years of real property appraisal experience.
Professional background
Certified General Appraisal Practice
Berkson Appraisal Service PLLC focuses on commercial and complex real estate assignments throughout Central and Northern Arizona, including complex residential property, portfolio-lending narrative appraisals, estate and trust valuation, litigation and expert witness matters.
A Certified General credential permits appraisal practice across a broad range of residential and commercial property, subject to competency and applicable assignment requirements.
That breadth of experience is valuable when an appraisal problem crosses conventional property categories—for example, a residence with substantial excess land, a mixed-use influence, multiple improvements, unusual zoning or development potential.
Berkson Appraisal Service approaches these assignments as valuation problems to be analyzed rather than forms to be completed.
Reporting
Narrative Appraisal Reporting
The firm's practice emphasizes comprehensive narrative appraisal reports.
Narrative reporting allows sufficient space to explain property characteristics, market conditions, comparable selection, adjustments, highest and best use and other valuation issues that may be difficult to communicate adequately through standardized forms.
The depth of analysis is tailored to the intended use, intended users, property characteristics, market evidence and complexity of the assignment.
Standards
Professional Standards
Appraisal assignments are developed and reported in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and applicable assignment requirements.
Independence is fundamental to the appraisal process. The appraiser's compensation is not contingent upon reporting a predetermined value, reaching a result favorable to a client or the occurrence of a subsequent event related to the appraisal's intended use.
