The development process begins with information identified in Step 1. The appraiser gathers most of this information from the client, with the exception of relevant property characteristics, which are often obtained later by the appraiser through inspection of the property or other means. The appraiser uses the initial information in Step 1, such as identification of the client and other intended users, intended use, and type of value, etc., to determine what assignment conditions (e.g., extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions, jurisdictional exceptions, assumptions and limiting conditions) may be required.

USPAP states that in a situation when an individual is not required by law, regulation, or agreement to comply with USPAP:
An appraiser, by definition, must perform independently, impartially, and objectively, without accommodation of his or her own personal interests. Bias would preclude an individual from acting within the definition of appraiser. A preference or inclination that precludes an appraiser's impartiality, independence, or objectivity is: Bias Appraisal practice Assumption Market value Bias An appraiser is permitted to be biased when performing an appraisal, as long as the bias is properly disclosed. True False False The word assumption is not defined in USPAP, as its plain English definition suffices. True/False True Note: Hypothetical condition: These are typically "what if" scenarios for the purposes of analysis. What if the zoning were different? What if the building was already renovated?
A hypothetical condition is used when a property is appraised contrary to its current known condition. If an appraiser assumes a condition to be true that does not exist for the purposes of analysis, this is an example of: An extraordinary assumption A limiting condition A hypothetical condition An assumption A hypothetical condition Note: EXPOSURE TIME: an opinion, based on supporting market data, of the length of time that the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal. Exposure time always occurs prior to the effective date of the appraisal. It is an opinion, developed by the appraiser, based on an analysis of past events and assumes a competitive and open market. Exposure time is different for various types of property and under various market conditions. Exposure time is not synonymous with marketing time. Exposure time is a component of most market value definitions, and it may also be a component of other types of value as well. Note: COST: the actual or estimated amount required to create, reproduce, replace or obtain a property.
Value Price Cost Price "The monetary relationship between properties and those who buy, sell or use those properties" is the definition of: Value Price Cost Value Note: CLIENT: the party or parties (i.e., individual, group, or entity) who engage an appraiser by employment or contract in a specific assignment, whether directly or through an agent. The client may be an individual, group, or entity, and may engage and communicate with the appraiser directly or through an agent. For example, a lender client might engage an appraiser through an appraisal management company (AMC) which is acting as an agent for the client. It is permissible for an appraiser to be engaged in an assignment by an agent, who is acting on behalf of the client. True False True An appraiser performs an appraisal assignment and develops an opinion of value. This value opinion is
