Property & Market Analysis
Depending upon the assignment, analysis may include property characteristics, location, market conditions, comparable properties, site characteristics, existing improvements, marketability, alternative uses, development considerations and income-producing potential.
Highest & Best Use Considerations
Some properties raise questions about their existing or potential use, particularly large sites, acreage, older properties, under-improved sites, multiple-improvement properties, investment properties and properties in changing markets.
Highest and best use analysis considers legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible and maximally productive uses as appropriate to the assignment.
Development & Redevelopment Considerations
- Site utility
- Existing improvements
- Potential alternative uses
- Market demand
- Surrounding development
- Access and utilities
- Zoning and land-use considerations
- Potential development constraints
Consulting does not replace engineering, surveying, legal, environmental or land-planning services when those specialties are required.
Considering Buying or Selling?
An independent analysis may help identify issues that deserve additional consideration: whether an asking price appears consistent with the market, how a property compares with alternatives, whether characteristics may affect future marketability and whether additional analysis is appropriate.
Complex Property Consulting
Experience may be particularly valuable with large or unusual residences, acreage and rural property, multiple buildings, investment properties, multi-family residential properties, older properties, limited comparable sales, substantial site improvements and potential alternative uses.
Do I Need an Appraisal or a Consultation?
You don't need to know the answer before contacting us. After discussing your objectives and the property involved, we can determine the appropriate service and scope of work.
There is no obligation to order an appraisal simply because you contact us to discuss the property.
