Our methodology
How We Determine the Value of Your Property
Every commercial property is unique. We apply the most appropriate combination of the three USPAP-recognized valuation approaches — tailored to your property type and intended use.
Sales Comparison
We analyze recent sales of comparable commercial properties, then apply adjustments for differences in size, location, condition, and features to arrive at a market-based value. Commonly used for: retail, office, multi-family
Income Approach
We evaluate the property's income-generating potential — rents, occupancy, expenses, and cap rates — to establish value based on what an investor would pay for that income stream. Commonly used for: investment properties, leased assets
Cost Approach
We estimate what it would cost to replace the improvements at today's prices, then subtract depreciation and add land value. Especially useful for special-use or newer properties. Commonly used for: special purpose, new construction

Yes — a certified appraisal is one of the strongest tools available for a property tax grievance or appeal. If your municipality has over-assessed your property relative to its actual market value, an independent appraisal gives you objective, third-party evidence to present to the assessor or review board. Many of our clients recover significant savings in annual property taxes following a successful appeal.
Commercial appraisers use up to three recognized valuation approaches depending on the property type. The Sales Comparison Approach analyzes recent sales of comparable properties. The Income Approach values the property based on its ability to generate rental income and applies a capitalization rate. The Cost Approach estimates what it would cost to rebuild the property today, minus depreciation, plus land value. For most commercial properties, we apply a weighted combination of whichever approaches are most applicable to your specific asset.
You’re not legally required to get an appraisal to sell, but it’s one of the smartest moves you can make before listing. A certified appraisal tells you your true market value — not an agent’s estimate shaped by commission incentives. It gives you a defensible asking price, a stronger negotiating position, and removes the risk of underpricing or sitting on the market too long. For owners considering a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) sale, an appraisal is especially valuable as your primary pricing tool.
A full Narrative Report can be relied upon by any party — lenders, banks, attorneys, accountants, courts, the IRS, investors, and buyers. A Restricted Appraisal Report is limited to the client named in the report and cannot be shared with or relied upon by third parties. This distinction matters: if your lender, attorney, or any outside party needs to see the report, you need a Narrative Report.
USPAP stands for the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice — the nationally recognized ethical and performance standards that govern real estate appraisers in the United States. All of our appraisals are USPAP-compliant, meaning they meet the requirements accepted by lenders, the IRS, courts, and federal agencies. This is a non-negotiable requirement for any appraisal used in a legal, financial, or regulated context.
