  Real estate appraisal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A real estate appraisal is a service performed, by an appraiser, that develops an opinion of value based upon the highest and best use of real property.
In the United States, the rules of real estate appraisal are codified in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP)developed by the Appraisal Institute, the largest and most influential professional organization of real estate appraisers in America.
USPAP was developed after the Savings and Loan scandal of the late 1980s when real estate appraisal in some states was essentially an unregulated industry.

 Performance Appraisal
Performance appraisal should also be viewed as a system of highly interactive processes which involve personnel at all levels in differing degrees in determining job expectations, writing job descriptions, selecting relevant appraisal criteria, developing assessment tools and procedures, and collecting interpreting, and reporting results.
Appraisal systems are expected to reveal under-productive units and to serve as a response system to focus attention on problem areas.
Appraisal activities, as an ongoing process, should connect the process to organizational functioning and have as their focus staff improvement, not simply salary adjustment and/or disciplinary action.

 Performance Appraisal Methods
In performance appraisal the Matthew Effect is said to occur where employees tend to keep receiving the same appraisal results, year in and year out.
That is, their appraisal results tend to become self-fulfilling: if they have done well, they will continue to do well; if they have done poorly, they will continue to do poorly.
It is a cardinal principle of performance appraisal that employees should have the chance to improve their appraisal results - especially if their past results have not been so good.

 Performance Appraisal Methods
The appraisal process became a sort of ratings lottery; the aim of the game was to get the highest possible score and win the jackpot.
There is also the work of Bannister and Balkin (1990), which has reported that "discussions of pay at the time of performance appraisal" increases employee acceptance of appraisal and their satisfaction with the process.
At worst, it may convey the impression that appraisal is some sort of deception, a trick by management, designed to give an appearance of openness and fairness while "real issues" like pay and promotions are decided in secret.

 Appraisal Homepage
This site is devoted to the Appraisal framework, an approach to exploring, describing and explaining the way language is used to evaluate, to adopt stances, to construct textual personas and to manage interpersonal positionings and relationships.
The Appraisal framework is an extension of the linguistic theories of M.A.K Halliday and his colleagues (Systemic Functional Linguistics) and has emerged over a period of almost 15 years as a result of work conducted by a group of researchers led by Professor James Martin of the Linguistics Department of the University of Sydney.
The Appraisal Analysis email list provides an electronic forum for the discussion of all and any questions, issues and problems associated with evaluative language in general and the Appraisal framework specifically.

The art comes from knowledge and experience in understanding the factors that influence the value of a domain name, while the science involves statistical techniques to quantify the importance of these factors.
The standard appraisal services do not take directly into account the contribution of a trademark to the appraisal value, as trademark valuation requires extensive domain-specific calculations and data collection.
The standard valuation method is to use discounted cash-flow techniques, which requires access to privately held information on traffic, revenue, and costs associated with the business.
