        <Name>Commercial Real Estate Lenders, Make Sure the Appraiser is Loyal to YOU</Name>
        <Summary>If a  Commercial Real Estate Appraiser is Loyal to the Borrower, He'll Bring in an Over-Inflated Appraisal</Summary>
        <Description>Suppose a commercial real estate appraiser appraises a $1 million commercial building.&amp;nbsp; Because commercial real estate appraising is so inexact, he can justifiably bring the appraisal in at $1.2 million or $800,000 - depending on whether he is loyal to the borrower or the lender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commercial real estate appraisers have a way of unconsciously trying to please the folks who are paying them.&amp;nbsp; If they are hired by the commercial real estate lender, then they will appraise the commercial property very conservatively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a commercial real estate appraiser is hired by the borrower, however, he will too-often work hard to find comps (usually not quite so comparable) to justify a higher value.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(153,0,51); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;In fact, commercial real estate appraisers have a tendency of &amp;quot;falling in love with the borrower.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; By this I mean they become vested in the idea of helping this &amp;quot;poor borrower&amp;quot; get as large a loan as possible from this &amp;quot;big, mean mortgage company&amp;quot; who can probably afford a loss anyway because they are so rich from gouging borrowers with a high interest rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, as a lender making commercial real estate loans, it is critical that the commercial real estate appraiser be loyal to &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;you &lt;/span&gt;and not the borrower.&amp;nbsp; Otherwise, you'll be stuck with a portfolio of bad loans that are upside down; i.e., the loan is greater than the value of your collateral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of the reasons why experienced commercial real estate lenders insist on ordering the appraisal themselves.&amp;nbsp; If the commercial real estate appraisal is ordered by the borrower or a mortgage broker, most experienced lenders will assume that the appraisal is tainted and over-valued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr style="WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 2px" /&gt;Do you need a commercial real estate loan?&amp;nbsp; C-Loans is a free databank of&amp;nbsp; 750 commercial real estate lenders.&amp;nbsp; You can apply to all 750 commercial lenders in just four minutes with one, simple mini-app.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a title="Free application system to submit to 750 commercial real estate lenders." href="http://www.c-loans.com/onlineapp"&gt;Click here to apply&lt;/a&gt;. </Description>
