How we arrive at a value

Every appraisal considers the three recognized approaches to value, and uses the ones that fit the property.

  1. Sales Comparison

    We compare the property with similar properties that recently sold, adjusting for the differences.

  2. Cost

    We estimate what it would cost to replace the improvements, less depreciation, plus the land value.

  3. Income

    For income-producing property, we convert expected cash flow into value using market capitalization or discount rates.
