PROPERTY DESCRIPTION 

The subject property is located in Homer Township, Midland County, Michigan. 

See the Location Maps 

in the Addenda for further detail. 

The neighborhood 

includes residential properties, the Pine River, agricultural pursuits, and vacant 

land, among other features. 

The subject comprises about 9.75 Acres of land area per the legal description 

contained in the Addenda for parcel #040-034-400-775-00. 

See the Site Sketch, 

also included 

in the Addenda, for the property shape and the relationship to 

nearby features. 

This property is located 

in an area serviced by conventional 

municipal utilities; septic systems are utilized for occupancy. 

According to Flood map data, the site does not appear to lie within a 100 year or 

500 year floodplain hazard zone, see the floodplain area specifics contained in 

the Addenda. 

A Topography map indicates a relatively flat elevation profile and 

wetlands nearby. 

Plat maps identify the subject as landlocked; East Deertrack 

Lane seems to only provide access to the property to the south, there 

is no 

known road or easement access to the subject. 

Wetlands 

apparently 

exist 

within 

the 

property 

boundary 

as 

shown 

in 

the 

Wetlands map. An Environmental Map does not indicate sites of contamination 

within the subject, but there is a site nearby to the west. 

Oil and Gas Well Map 

and State Subsurface Rights Map do not show significant data for this work. 

The subject consists of 9.75 acres of vacant land, there are no known building 

structures. 

See the parcel and assessor records contained in the Addenda for 

further details on the property. 

Not all areas were accessed during the site visit 

on June 10, 2025. 

At the time of the visit, the property appeared to be vacant 

land with some wet regions. 

Subject Photographs are included in the Addenda 

for more information. 

SALES HISTORY 

Records indicate that the property 

is owned 

by Stark Revocable Trust since 

acquisition 

of the subject parcel and 

a second parcel on July 12, 2024 from 

grantor Cheryl 

K. Johnson for $120,000 consideration. 

The property (parent 

parcel) had been in the Johnson name since acquisition on September 29, 1986 

for $23,750. 

See the Addenda for relevant deed information. 

The Assessed 

Values and Taxable Values are listed below:

Page 6

Portion of Southeast 1/4, Section 34

Page -5- 

work that the parent parcel and child parcel are split on the effective appraisal 

date. 

Personal property parcels, 

if any, are not valued 

in this work, and fax 

payments are assumed to be current. 

It is also assumed that liens, 

if any, are 

cleared so that the title holder retains all property rights. 

HIGHEST AND BEST USE 

To determine the highest and best use of a property, consideration is given to: 

surrounding land uses; the size and shape of the site; the current economics of 

the area; zoning; property supply and demand, available utilities; and the nature 

and condition of the improvements, 

if any. 

Conventionally, four tests are applied 

by the appraiser to determine the highest and best use: 

1. 

Physical Possibility 

2. 

Legal Permissibility 

3. 

Financial Feasibility 

4. Maximum Productivity 

it appears that development 

of the subject 

land 

is 

not physically possible, 

whereby vehicular access 

is 

not accessible. 

Floodplain 

limitations 

do 

not 

apparently apply to this site. 

No proximity to local roadways does not allow for 

tap-in to conventional utility services. 

The zoning code is RA Single Family Residential as shown on the Zoning map in 

the Addenda. 

The property does not appear to meet the minimum lot width for 

roadway frontage of 100 feet, so structural development would not seem to be an 

option. 

Additional development restrictions may be 

in place also due to the 

wetland coverage over most of the acreage. 

A Future Land Use map shows a 

continued residential plan. 

See relevant ordinances in the Addenda. 

An analysis for Highest and Best Use includes factoring in the financial feasibility 

of potential uses, and the maximum productivity that produces the highest return 

on invested capital. 

If there 

is adequate market demand for 

a property at a 

specific 

use, 

that 

use 

is 

likely 

to 

be economically 

feasible. 

A 

property's 

productivity 

peak 

is 

established 

by 

the 

greatest 

land 

residual 

income 

for 

unimproved properties, and the greatest return on invested capital for improved 

properties. 

Based on the information in this report, and additional data points for 

similar properties, the appraiser considers the subject parcel non-developmental 

residential use to be financially feasible and maximally productive. 

The above factors permit a multitude of usages for the subject property. 

The 

land, as vacant, would probably still support a non-developmental residential use. 

Other alternatives are unlikely for this area. 

Because of the subject property's

Page 7

PROPERTY VALUATION COMMENTS 

Supply and demand for the subject property type in the area is difficult to quantify 

due to the unique nature of the location and building improvements. 

See the 

Local Market Information section in the Addenda for regional economic data and 

market analysis. 

The inferred analysis suggests that the subject property is in a 

low demand market with a low amount of comparable area supply. 

The Sales Comparison Approach was utilized as a tool for the solution to the 

appraisal problem. 

Relevant Scope 

of Work descriptions and Retrospective 

Market Value definitions are enclosed 

in the Addenda of this report. The Cost 

Approach was not employed as there are no known building structures. 

There 

was no available income or expense history, thus the Income Approach to Value 

was not credible to this analysis for the property. 

This work relies on an Extraordinary Assumption that the condition of the property 

on the effective appraisal date, December 31, 2024, was similar to that state on 

the site visit date, June 10, 2025. 

If the assumption is not true, then the valuation 

results may lack credibility or accuracy. 

The condition on the site visit date was 

that of vacant land. 

Specifically excluded 

with 

the 

Retrospective 

Market Value 

opinion which 

is 

generated herein are contributions to value, 

if any, of licenses; leases; or other 

personal property which may be associated with the ownership or occupancy of 

the subject property. 

There were no ‘for sale’ signs at the property during the site 

visit, and the subject is not known to be listed for sale on the MLS. 

Next, the applicable valuation method shall be presented, then reconciled for a 

final Retrospective Market Value opinion.

THE SALES COMPARISON APPROACH TO VALUE 

In the application of the Sales Comparison Approach 

to Value, the appraiser 

considers available market evidence with regard 

to recent sales of properties 

with characteristics similar to the subject. 

Through analysis of the activities of 

typical buyers and sellers of such real estate, an estimate is generated projecting 

the manner in which thoughtful purchasers view the subject in the event of its 

exposure to the open market as well as the price that 

it might reasonably be 

expected to produce. 

In the course of the research project conducted for the preparation of an estimate 

of property 

value 

via 

the 

Sales Comparison 

Approach, 

the 

appraiser 

has 

analyzed sales involving property that is similar in certain aspects to the subject. 

The evidence found, may very well fail to include one of the essential elements of 

Market Value: 

Willing 

seller, informed buyer, 

or reasonable time 

of market 

exposure, 

in the absence 

of undue pressure. 

In the following study 

of this 

evidence, the appraiser selected transactions (comparable sales) 

to utilize 

in 

direct comparison to the subject that is under appraisement. These transactions 

are more fully described in the Addenda of this report. 

Each comparable sale was compared with the subject property with respect to a 

number of variables, described and explained below, that would tend to affect 

property values. 

Adjustments were applied to reconcile these differences. 

The 

adjustments, expressed as percentage figures, are directed from the comparable 

to the subject property. 

A ‘plus’ adjustment indicates that the subject was considered superior to the 

comparable with respect to the element of value under consideration; while a 

‘minus’ 

adjustment 

indicates 

the 

relative 

superiority 

of 

the 

comparable. 

Combination of the adjustment figures by addition produces a net adjustment 

percentage for each comparable which was thenceforth applied to the sale price 

per unit of the respective sale. 

This means, each comparable generated an 

indication 

of value 

for the subject property. 

The explanation 

of adjustments 

follows. 

Size - Building 

The size adjustment 

is supported by the fact that generally the larger 

quantity of any economic good tends to bear a smaller unit price in the 

marketplace. Although price is usually in proportion to quantity purchased, 

the dollar/space relationship decreases because people won't pay 

for

bear negative reflection in the marketplace. 

Properties featuring high and 

dry land areas are generally considered more desirable, depending on the 

subject under review. 

Features 

This category includes such items as fillable farmground or other property 

benefits present in the subject property and/or its comparable sales.

RETROSPECTIVE MARKET VALUE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS OF 

DECEMBER 31, 2024 VIA THE SALES COMPARISON APPROACH TO VALUE: 

$ 20,000 

This value estimate appears to be credible using the Sales Comparison Approach 

to Value based on comparable sales and supported with market evidence. 

For 

this case, recent sales of truly similar properties are rare, so the data available 

does not easily support the use of paired sales analysis for adjustments in the 

sales comparable grid. 

Accuracy of the result would potentially be enhanced with 

current sales data that matched each feature of the subject. 

The Size adjustment takes into account the dissimilarity of Sales 

1, 

2, 

3, and 4 

compared to the subject size, where the Sales are of a significantly larger size, and 

the unit measurement per acre needs a modest adjustment. 

This reflects the 

market where smaller acreage units of sale price per acre will typically be larger 

than 

a more sizeable acreage unit measurement, assuming other factors are 

essentially equal. 

Note that the topography adjustment magnitude is guided by the cost of probable 

fill to allow for site development such as paving in a partial wetlands zone. 

So, 

Sales 

2, 

3, 

4, and 

5 are considered superior as there are no wetland zones 

compared 

to 

the 

subject 

property, 

and 

each 

Sale 

is 

assigned 

a 

negative

THE COST APPROACH TO VALUE 

The Cost Approach to Value consists of estimating the value of the subject's land 

component; 

then 

estimating 

the 

current 

construction 

cost 

new 

of 

existing 

improvements to land and thereafter depreciating them to reflect their current 

utility. 

The land value is then added to their depreciated cost; whereby, a value 

conclusion is ascertained. 

The Cost Approach 

is based on the proposition that the informed purchaser 

would pay no mare for a property than the cost of producing a suitable substitute 

property with the same utility as the subject. 

It is of paramount importance that 

the improvements represent the highest and best use of the land. 

There are no known building structures, so the method does not apply to this 

problem. 

Therefore, the Cost Approach to Value 

is not a reliable indicator of 

Retrospective Market Value. 

THE INCOME APPROACH TO VALUE 

In using the Income Approach to Value, the appraiser affixes market rent to the 

subject property estimates and then deducts vacancy and credit loss by examining 

income market data. 

Fixed expenses (annual real estate taxes and insurance 

premiums) are deducted before operating expenses are considered. 

Operating 

expenses 

are 

treated 

according 

to 

the 

particular 

type 

of 

property 

under 

appraisement. Expenses differ with relation to construction costs and occupancy. 

The following expression below aids the reader in understanding this approach to 

value 

(Property Value approximated 

by the Net Income divided by the 

Direct 

Capitalization Rate).

RECONCILIATION OF VALUE INDICATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE 

The 

indication 

of 

the 

applicable 

approach 

to 

value 

appears 

reasonable. 

Techniques 

utilized 

in 

this 

work 

reflect 

standard 

methods, 

and 

the 

value 

conclusion appears rational. 

The Cost Approach and Income Approach did not 

apply to this problem. 

The Market, or Sales Comparison, Approach measures the actions of buyers and 

sellers of similar properties. 

Since price paid represents a subjective reconciliation 

between knowledgeable participants who have considered substitute alternatives, 

utility 

has 

been 

estimated. 

Individual 

subjectivity when 

collectively analyzed 

exhibits 

strong 

evidence 

towards 

an 

objective 

estimate 

of 

value. 

Market 

performance reveals the mental process of weighing benefits and capital outlays. 

Because of these reasons, the Market Approach deserves a dependable credit in 

reconciling the final value conclusion 

Based upon the foregoing analyses, 

it is the appraiser's earnest opinion that the 

Retrospective Market Value, as defined in the Addenda, of the subject property, 

as described elsewhere in this appraisal report and commonly known as Portion 

of Southeast 

1/4, 

Section 

34, Homer Township, 

Midland 

County, 

Michigan, 

appraised as a fee simple interest as of December 31, 2024, and including all 

assumptions and conditions mentioned within, 

is estimated 

in the amount of 

Twenty Thousand Dollars. 

FINAL ESTIMATE OF RETROSPECTIVE MARKET VALUE OF THE SUBJECT 

PROPERTY AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 WAS: 

$ 20,000 

This work relies on an Extraordinary Assumption that the condition of the property 

on the effective appraisal date, December 31, 2024, was similar to that state on 

the site visit date, June 10, 2025. 

Specifically excluded with the Retrospective 

Market Value opinion which is generated herein are contributions to value, 

if any,

MARKETING AND EXPOSURE TIME 

The following time estimates are intended to reflect area market activity and can 

be required for USPAP appraisal reporting standards. The marketing time of the 

subject property, 

if it were offered for sale, 

is estimated as being approximately 

one to six months after the effective date of the appraisal, December 31, 2024. 

This estimation is based on general market data and trends, and assumes that

ADDENDA- MARKET ANALYSIS AND LOCAL INFORMATION 

This section analyzes data regarding population, housing and income. 

County level 

information shows generally stable population levels and stagnant to rising personal 

incomes. 

Specific 

market 

analyses 

are 

not 

usually 

available 

for 

small 

to 

medium 

sized 

communities typical for the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. 

Uniformity between municipal 

economies can vary, especially considering spacing of ten to fifty miles between cities. 

Larger metropolitan areas in the southern part of the state can be better sources for 

market performance statistics, but smaller cities may not be regularly tabulated 

for 

inclusion. 

Price Waterhouse Cooper's survey of investor data covers 15 areas outside 

of Michigan, and may also not provide credible data transfer, depending on the property 

or location. 

An inferred market analysis shall be presented for this appraisal problem. The following 

six categories 

are developed 

for purposes 

of constructing 

an estimate 

of market 

performance by the subject property: 

Property Productivity Analysis 

Market Delineation 

Demand Analysis 

Supply Analysis 

Residual Demand 

Market Capture 

ooh WN 

1. 

Property Productivity Analysis 

This 

section describes property aspects 

that enhance marketability 

of the 

subject 

compared to competing locations. 

The subject property is located in an area location 

without vehicular access. 

Other properties that compete for residential demand may 

have superior access features or are properties with adequate utility. 

2. Market Delineation 

Markets for this type of property likely do not have firm boundaries. 

It is suspected that 

users of this property category reside within township and county limits that surround 

the subject municipal area. 

For this work, data is analyzed for the Township and the 

County as this reflects the likely location for demand considerations and statistics for 

historical and forecasted drivers of expected future occupancies. 

Some information is

Page 46

Page - 45 - 

3. Demand Analysis 

Residential demand for this property category in the Township and County is likely low 

due to the lack of vehicular access to the property. 

4. Supply Analysis 

There is a low supply of similar offerings. Other properties are being developed, but are 

either in different locations, or targeted at a different market segment. 

‘ 

5. Residual Demand 

In this case, likely low demand compared to low supply results 

in an estimated low 

residential demand. 

Markets in the Township and County are typically stable for mutti- 

year periods of time. 

6. Market Capture 

Predicting supply and demand is difficult to accurately complete for this problem due to 

the relative lack of firm quantified numbers for this type of property. 

It is suggested that 

a low demand and a low supply market likely contributes to a low subject demand due 

to the location and attributes of the subject. 

It is suspected that the subject attributes 

presented 

attractive elements 

for operators that have adequate resources 

for this 

market segment, in particular, those in seek of property that may provide access, such 

as neighboring properties. 

For this work, fundamental market analyses were not found that apply to the problem. 

Markets are unique in many Michigan communities, and analysis boundaries are difficult 

to quantify 

in the region. 

Lack of published data may hinder application 

of certain 

valuation methods. 

This inferred analysis suggests that the subject property is in a low 

demand market with a low amount of comparable supply in the area. 

This analysis does not consider the possible local effects, 

if any, 

of the global virus 

pandemic, known as Covid-19 or coronavirus. 

Appraisal work 

is typically based on 

historical market evidence, and there is insufficient data available to determine market 

outcomes that could distress, or enhance, this property category demand. 

See the following section for location information and a radial ring market analysis.

ADDENDA - SCOPE OF WORK 

The scope of work involving the appraisal report encompasses the necessary research 

and analyses to prepare a report in accordance with the intended use, the Standards of 

Professional Practice of the Appraisal Institute and the Uniform Standards of Professional 

Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Foundation. 

The scope considers and includes the 

appraisal process. The appraisal process is defined as follows: 

“A systematic analysis of the factors that bear upon the value or utility of real 

estate. 

An orderly program by which the problem is defined, the work necessary 

to solve the problem is planned, and the data involved are acquired, classified, 

analyzed, and interpreted into a final opinion or conclusion." 

The 

appraisal 

process 

and 

every 

appraisal 

assignment 

are 

unique 

and 

will 

vary 

depending on the type of property, size, age, as well as other physical characteristics 

together with the complexity and significance of the appraisal problem and the intended 

use of the report. 

In regard to the subject property, the following steps have been used in 

the development of this appraisal report: 

1) 

The subject property was physically inspected by the appraiser. 

2) 

Regional, county, 

city and neighborhood data was developed based on 

information 

available 

in 

the 

appraiser's 

files 

together 

with 

additional 

research 

through 

governmental 

agencies, 

local 

libraries 

and 

private 

sources. 

3) 

The subject property data was compiled based upon a variety of sources. 

Plans on the property were reviewed, 

if available, in addition to a detailed 

physical inspection of the property by the appraiser. Additional subject data 

was compiled from assessment records, 

other municipal and/or county 

sources as well as information provided by the owner, client and/or other 

knowledgeable sources. 

4) 

The highest and best use of the property was made with estimates based 

on an analysis 

of all data compiled. 

The highest and best use 

of the 

property, as defined later in this report, considered 

all factors influencing 

highest and best use. 

Analysis of highest and best use for the property, 

both as if vacant and as improved, was reflected.

The 

development 

of 

all 

applicable 

approaches 

to 

value 

has 

been 

considered. The three typical approaches to value include: 

a) 

The Cost Approach; 

b) 

The Market Data (or Sales Comparison) Approach; 

Cc) 

The Income Approach. 

in developing all applicable approaches to value, the market data used has 

been collected by the appraiser from a variety of resources. 

The appraiser 

maintains an extensive research library of land sales, improved sales, rental 

data, cost data and other pertinent market data information required 

in 

establishing value through the various approaches utilized. 

In addition to the appraiser's extensive research library, the appraiser has 

also sought out information through market data sources such as: 

public 

records; Multiple Listing Services; personal contacts with buyers, sellers, 

developers, 

investors 

within 

the 

market; 

real 

estate 

Brokers; 

property 

managers, 

mortgage 

lenders; 

other 

appraisers; 

as 

well 

as 

other 

knowledgeable individuals specifically pertaining 

to the type 

of property 

under appraisement. 

Confidentiality has been used throughout this report. 

Information and data 

disclosed within the report has been deemed non-confidential for inclusion 

within this report. 

Confidentiality pertaining to the subject property and the 

value conclusions rendered will remain confidential between the appraiser 

and the client. 

After assembling and analyzing all of the data and other pertinent opinions 

and conclusions defined within the scope of this appraisal report, a final 

estimate of Market Value was made. 

This final estimate of Market Value is 

based upon 

all supporting data and documentation contained within this 

report and/or included 

within 

the 

appraiser's 

file. 

The 

Market Value 

estimate is subject to all limiting conditions and assumptions as so stated in 

the report as disclosed.

ADDENDA - DEFINITION OF RETROSPECTIVE! MARKET VALUE 

The term “Retrospective Market Value” as referred 

to 

in 

this report, 

is defined 

as 

follows. 

The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open 

market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale; the buyer and seller each 

acting prudently and knowledgeable, and assuming the price is not affected by 

undue stimulus. 

Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and 

the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 

1. 

Buyer and seller typically motivated, 

2. 

Both parties 

are well informed 

or well advised, 

and 

acting 

in what they 

consider their own best interests; 

3. Areasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 

4. 

Payment is made 

in terms of cash 

in U. 

S. dollars or in terms of financial 

arrangements comparable thereto; and 

5. 

The 

price 

represents 

the 

normal 

consideration 

for 

the 

property 

sold 

unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by 

anyone associated with the sale.

appeals, damage models, lease renegotiation, deficiency judgements, estate tax, and 

condemnation.’ Dictionary of Real Estate, Appraisal institute, 5" Ed. 

ADDENDA - TYPES OF APPRAISAL REPORTS — USPAP? 

The 2024 Edition of USPAP 

is effective January 

1, 2024. 

The Appraisal Standards 

Board (ASB) of The Appraisal Foundation develops, interprets, and amends the Uniform 

Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) on behalf of appraisers and 

users of appraisal services. USPAP represents the generally accepted and recognized 

ndards of appraisal practice in the United States.

ADDENDA - GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS 

Standards Rule (“S.R.”) 2-1 of the “Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the 

Appraisal Institute” requires the appraiser(s) 

to “clearly and accurately disclose any 

extraordinary assumption 

or limiting condition that directly affects the appraisal and 

indicate its impact on value.” 

In compliance with S.R. 2-1, and to assist the reader in 

interpreting this report, such assumptions and limiting conditions are set forth as follows: 

THE APPRAISER(S) HAVE ASSUMED: 

1. The conclusion and opinions expressed in this report apply to the date of value 

set forth in the letter of transmittal accompanying this report. 

The dollar amount 

of any value opinion or conclusion rendered or expressed in this report is based 

upon the purchase power of the American dollar existing on the date of value. 

2. The appraiser(s) assume no responsibility for economic, physical or demographic 

factors which may affect or alter the opinions of this report 

if said economic, 

physical or demographic factors change after the date of value. The appraiser(s) 

are not obligated to predict future political, economic or social trends. 

3. 

In preparing this report, the appraiser(s) were required to rely on information 

furnished 

by 

other 

individuals 

or found 

in 

previous 

existing 

records and/or 

documents. 

Unless otherwise indicated, such information 

is presumed to be 

reliable. 

However, 

no warranty, 

either express 

or implied, 

is given 

by the 

appraiser(s) for accuracy of such information and the appraiser(s) assume no 

responsibility for information relied upon later found 

to have been inaccurate. 

The appraiser(s) reserve the right to make such adjustments to the analyses, 

opinions, 

and 

conclusions 

set 

forth 

in 

this 

report 

as 

may 

be 

required 

by 

consideration of additional data or more reliable data that may become available. 

4. 

No opinion as to the title of the subject property is rendered. 

Title is assumed to 

be marketable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, easements and 

restrictions except those specifically discussed 

in the report. 

The property 

is 

appraised 

assuming 

it 

to 

be 

under 

responsible 

ownership 

and 

competent 

management, and available for its highest and best use. 

5. 

The appraiser(s) assume no responsibility for hidden or unapparent conditions of 

the property, subsoil, ground water or structures that render the subject property

Page 55

Page - 54 - 

6. 

The appraiser(s) have not been provided any information regarding the presence 

of any materials or substance on or 

in any portion of the subject property or 

improvements thereon, which materials or substance possesses or may possess 

toxic, hazardous and/or other harmful and/or dangerous characteristics. 

Unless 

otherwise stated 

in the report, the appraiser(s) did not become aware of the 

presence of any such material or substance during the inspection of the subject 

property. 

However, the appraiser(s) are not qualified to investigate or test for the 

presence of such materials or substances. 

The presence of such materials or 

substances may adversely affect the value of the subject property. 

The value 

estimate in this report is predicated on the assumption that no such material or 

substance 

is present on or in the subject property or in such proximity thereto 

that it would cause a loss in value. The appraiser(s) assume no responsibility for 

the presence 

of any such substance neither 

in the subject property, 

nor for 

expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover the presence of such 

substance or material. 

Unless otherwise stated, this report assumes the subject 

property 

is 

in compliance with 

all federal, state and local environmental laws, 

regulations and rules. 

7. 

Unless otherwise stated, the subject property is appraised assuming 

it to be in 

full 

compliance 

with 

alt 

applicable 

zoning 

and 

land 

use 

regulations 

and 

restrictions. 

8. 

Unless otherwise stated, the property 

is appraised assuming that all required 

licenses, permits, certificates, consents or other legislative and/or administrative 

authority 

from 

any 

local, 

state 

or 

national government 

or 

private 

entity 

or 

organization have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use on which the 

value estimate contained in this report is based. 

9. 

No 

engineering 

survey

been 

made 

by 

the 

appraiser(s). 

Except 

as 

specifically stated, data relative to size and area of the subject property was 

taken from sources considered 

reliable and 

no encroachment 

of the subject 

property is considered to exist. 

10. No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil, gas or mineral rights or 

whether the property is subject to surface entry for the exploration or removal of 

such materials, except as is expressly stated. 

11. Maps, 

plats and exhibits included in this report are for illustration only to serve as

Page 56

Page - 55 - 

12. No 

opinion is intended to be expressed for matters which require legal expertise 

or specialized investigation or knowledge beyond that customarily employed by 

real estate appraisers. 

13. The distribution 

if any, 

of the total valuation 

in this report between land and 

improvements applies only under the stated program of utilization. 

The separate 

allocations for land and improvements must not be used in conjunction with any 

other appraisal and are invalid if so used. 

14. Possession 

of this report, 

or a copy of 

it, does not carry with 

it the right of 

publication. 

Without the written consent of the appraiser(s), any person other 

than the party to who it is addressed may not use this report for any purpose. 

In 

any event, 

this report may be used only with properly written qualification and 

only in its entirety for its stated purpose. 

15. This appraisal report 

is subject to the rules and regulations of the Appraisal 

Institute and may, under certain conditions, be subject to confidential review by a 

duly constituted committee of that organization. 

16. The appraiser(s) have assumed that as the effective date of this appraisal report, 

the property is subject to normal easements and restrictions of record, which are 

considered to be standard and typical for a property of this type, and are not 

considered to adversely affect the normal use of the estimated market value of 

the subject property. 

17.The 

subject 

property 

is 

appraised 

as 

though 

free 

and 

clear 

of 

all 

liens, 

mortgages, obligations 

or encumbrances. 

The valuation estimate 

is 

of real 

property only and does not include any estimate of business value, or the value 

of any equipment, furniture, fixtures 

or chattels which may be located on the 

property, except those items necessary for the operation of the building such as 

heating and air conditioning equipment, lighting, etc., or as otherwise noted. 

18. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. 

We have not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to 

determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements 

of the ADA. 

It is possible that a compliance survey of the property together with 

a detailed analysis of the requirements of the ADA could reveal that the property
