OUR SERVICES
Real Property Valuations
Determining the value of real estate is necessary for a variety of endeavors, including financing, sales listing, investment analysis, property insurance, and taxation. We have experience appraising a variety of commercial property types for lending institutions, attorneys, property owners, investors, and developers.
Partial Taking Valuations
Governments acquire private property for public purposes using its eminent domain power, which requires fair compensation be paid to property owners. Takings can take the form of entire properties in fee simple, portions of properties in fee simple, and in some instances, partial interests are acquired in the form of easements, which can either be temporary or permanent. Real property appraisals are utilized to derive the amount of fair compensation due property owners. We have experience providing partial taking valuations for both private property owners and governments for public infrastructure projects.
Market Analysis & Feasibility Studies
Market analysis is a process that examines the demand and supply of a property type within a specific market area for the purpose of assessing the extent of market support for a proposed project and to render an opinion on market feasibility. We have experience providing market analysis and feasibility studies, primarily for new residential subdivisions, as part of real property valuation assignments and as stand-alone studies for developers and financial institutions.
