On Friday, September 17, 2021, Worldwide ERC®, the international workforce mobility association, and RAC, a premier organization providing valuation solutions for relocation and complex residential properties, announced and congratulated the winner of the 2021 Relocation Appraisal Report Writing Contest.
The appraisal reports were redacted so that the judges, who were report reviewers from relocation companies and appraisal management companies, did not know the identity of the contestants. The redaction was also done to protect private information about the subject properties.
Each section of the report was evaluated for the following:
Completeness (whether all necessary information was included, and if exhibits were useful and comprehensive)
Clarity of communication (descriptions were required to render a good understanding of the elements being defined, in complete sentences with appropriate grammar)
Thoroughness (whether the appraiser researched all of the important market factors that impact the analysis)
Internal consistency (ensuring that the facts presented in the report led to the conclusions and recommendations expressed by the appraiser)
Complexity of the assignment (determining if the report identified and communicated unique marketing challenges, and offered adequate justification for adjustments for unique/unusual challenges)
