Ames Appraisal Services is a division of The Ames Organization, Inc., a company with two separate divisions, Ames Appraisal Services and Ames Mortgage Associates.

Ames Appraisal Services has extensive experience in appraising all types of commercial properties such as office parks, warehouses, hotel/motel, apartment/condominium, bowling centers, shopping centers, and industrial sites, as well as vacant land and special use properties.

The market value of a property represents its value at its highest and best use. Market value is 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, knowledgeably 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 a title from seller to buyer.

Highest and best use is defined as the legal, possible, probable, feasible and highest and best use that will preserve the utility of the land and yield a net flaw of income that farms, when capitalized, the highest present value of land at the date of the appraisal.

The geographical work area of the company is not limited to the tri-county area, (Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach) but encompasses locations both nationwide and in the Caribbean. In conjunction with appraisal assignments, Mr. Ames often testifies in court as an expert witness in matters relating to condemnation, foreclosure, bankruptcy, deficiency judgments, divorce cases, tax matters, and market rentals.
