Commercial valuation services

A complex property deserves
a clear perspective.

Commercial property value depends on more than square footage. Income potential, tenancy, expenses, location, condition, land characteristics, and comparable sales can all affect a property's market position. True Value Appraisal tailors the research and scope of work to the assignment.

Market Research

Analysis of location, property characteristics, relevant market activity, and competing real estate.

Income & Investment

Where applicable, consideration of rents, vacancy, operating expenses, and income capitalization.

Clear Documentation

Well-organized appraisal reporting designed to support the identified intended use and intended users.

Types of commercial real estate

Property types we consider.

From traditional business properties to unusual assignments, commercial appraisal requests are evaluated based on the property's characteristics, location, complexity, and required reporting scope.

Office Properties

Professional offices, medical offices, office condominiums, small office buildings, and owner-occupied space.

Retail Properties

Storefronts, neighborhood retail, shopping properties, stand-alone retail buildings, and restaurants.

Industrial Properties

Warehouses, flex properties, light industrial buildings, and storage or distribution facilities.

Multifamily

Apartment buildings and residential income properties, including properties with five or more units.

Mixed-Use Buildings

Commercial and residential combinations, including retail or office space with apartments above.

Commercial Land & Special-Use

Development sites, vacant commercial land, and specialized properties reviewed on an individual basis.

Acceptance and assignment terms depend on appraiser qualifications, availability, scope, and property complexity.

Valuation methodology

More than one way
to understand value.

A commercial appraisal may involve one or more recognized valuation approaches. The appropriate method depends on the property's use, available data, and the purpose of the assignment.

The final analysis considers the strengths and limitations of applicable approaches rather than treating every property as though it were the same.

Three recognized approaches
01Sales Comparison Approach
Examines comparable transactions with adjustments where supported.
02Income Approach
Analyzes income-producing potential, where appropriate and supported by data.
03Cost Approach
Considers land value and improvement costs, including relevant depreciation, when applicable.
