OK... tell me something... are you a real estate appraiser because here are what market appraisers considerations are:
Deutsche bank required Trump put up this property the Miami-area resort and Wabash Ave skyscraper as collateral.
Let's look at the Miami-area property known as Mar-a-Largo.
Valued by a New York judge ruled last week that former President Donald Trump inflated the value of his Mar-a-Lago estate by an eye-popping 2,300%.
From 2011-2021, the Palm Beach County Assessor appraised the market value of Mar-a-Lago at between $18 million and $27.6 million,” Engoron wrote in his ruling.
The judge noted Trump valued Mar-a-Lago at between $426.5 million and $612 million, “an overvaluation of at least 2,300%, compared to the assessor’s appraisal.”
To those of you that understand this distinction that Engoron is totally as a well known Democrat very very ignorant of and he is a JUDGE!
But it’s widely known that the tax assessor valuation is typically, though not always,
less than what a property would command on the open market.
In other words, it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison.
These experts point this out folks... NOT me I'm not an expert... I just find the truth!
“Appraisal values and market values are just not the same thing. It’s a well-known fact,” said Eli Beracha, chair of the school of real estate at Florida International University.
“
That’s especially true for properties that are unique. And it’s very easy to argue this is a unique property."
Dina Goldentayer, executive director of sales at Douglas Elliman in South Florida, said in her experience in the ultra-luxury marketplace the tax assessor’s valuation isn’t considered when trying to value a property.
He wouldn’t make a very good realtor,” Goldentayer said of the judge.
“It’s so widely known that it’s not an accurate determination of market value.”
Now here is the proof via an example:
" A nearby vacant lot (2.3 acres) is for sale on Zillow for $200 million," John LeFevre, a former investment banker who created the Goldman Sachs Elevator social media account, wrote alongside a screengrab of the listing. "Mar-a-Lago sits on 17 acres, with waterfront on both sides."
NOW here is a comparable property:
Cosmetics heir William Lauder has listed two adjacent, empty Palm Beach parcels for an eye watering $200 million,
The Wall Street Journal reported.
The parcels, which can be subdivided, total a little more than 2.3 acres and have about 360 feet of beachfront, the listing says.
Cosmetics heir William Lauder has listed beachfront properties at 1063 and 1071 North Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach for a record $200 million

This is the asking price per acre of the 2.3 acres or $86,956,521 per acre.
Mar-a-Largo that Trump valued at Mar-a-Lago's worth in a $364 million verdict.
So multiplying 17 acres of Mar-a-Lago times $86,956,521 per acre means $1,478,260,869 for dummies like Cellblock2429... that is $1.478 BILLION!
So again... truly dumb people like Engoron wrote in his ruling.
The judge noted Trump valued Mar-a-Lago at between $426.5 million and $612 million,
which is 3 times less than what the market value of 17 acres as the above example shows.
How dumb!
