Going Concern Specialty Designation (GC)
I am proud to share that I am one of the first to be awarded the ASA's new designation in Going Concern Valuation which is a specialized area of real estate appraisal. The American Society of Appraisers (ASA) is now offering the profession's only specialty designation in Going Concern Valuation. This specialty is designed for those appraisers who value complex commercial real estate with a business component, such as car washes, fueling stations/c-stores and lodging properties on a regular basis. Appraisers in this specialty have the knowledge and understanding of when (and when not) to properly allocate/segregate the value components as required by lending institutions, and the ability to analyze their effect on value as required by USPAP.
This area of real estate appraisal practice requires specialized knowledge to perform appraisals in compliance with appropriate professional standards. It has evolved significantly in recent years. This is an interesting and exciting time. I look forward to utilizing my skills to more effectively address the appraisal needs for my clients.
