What We Do
Our services
Commercial real estate valuation across a broad range of asset classes, for purposes ranging from assessment appeals to financing, litigation and portfolio review.
What an engagement includes
Every valuation follows the same discipline, whether it supports an appeal, a loan or a court proceeding.
Scope & terms
We agree the intended use, the interest being valued and the effective date before any work starts. Scope drives everything downstream.
Inspection
We inspect the property and verify the physical particulars an assessment often takes on file rather than on sight.
Market analysis
Submarket conditions, comparable transactions, rents and capitalization evidence, drawn from our own database and verified sources.
Reconciliation
The three approaches are applied and weighed against each other, with the reasoning for that weighting stated rather than assumed.
Asset classes
Each class turns on a different question. Hotels, resorts and casinos are handled by our hospitality practice at hotelappraisals.com.
Office
Commercial office buildings, business parks and professional space.
Value turns on lease rollover profile, tenant covenant strength and the cost of re-leasing vacant space in the prevailing market.
Commercial Retail
Shopping centres, high-street retail and mixed-use commercial space.
Anchor covenant, sales productivity and percentage-rent exposure usually matter more than headline square footage.
Industrial
Warehousing, distribution, flex and light-manufacturing facilities.
Clear height, loading configuration and site coverage separate assets that otherwise look comparable on area alone.
Multi-Family
Apartment buildings, purpose-built rental and multi-unit residential.
Suite mix, in-place versus market rents and any rent regulation drive the income the asset can actually be expected to produce.
Development Land
Raw land, serviced development sites and land-assembly holdings.
Entitlement status, servicing cost and realistic absorption govern value far more than raw acreage.
Special Purpose
Assets with limited comparable evidence requiring bespoke methodology.
Where transaction evidence is thin, the cost and income approaches carry the conclusion and must be reasoned explicitly.
Valuation purposes
Every engagement produces a defensible opinion of value, documented to the standard the purpose demands.
