Commercial appraisers tend to overshare information. Clients want to know what their property is worth. Restating facts that are presented in more digestible formats like tables makes a report bulky. Describing the MSA’s highway system isn’t necessary when your client will probably search for the property on Google Maps before opening your report.
I haven’t explored using a large language model (LLM) to replace my writing, but I use that possibility as a filter for what I include in my appraisals.

Meticulous due diligence and analysis are essential in the appraisal process. LLMs should not be used as an excuse for cutting corners, but to sharpen focus.
Having an LLM in my tool belt encourages me to think critically about the core message I need to convey in each section of a report. What does my client need to understand? What context best reinforces my opinion of value?
