Our principal appraiser's valuation experience
An owner's view of value
Our background is on the ownership side of commercial real estate: development, acquisitions, dispositions, asset management, and leasing. We know how buyers, owners, and lenders underwrite a property, and our reports reflect it.
Location gets analyzed the way buyers analyze it: submarket, highway access, labor, and growth. Comparable sales are chosen carefully, because a reviewer can spot a weak comp immediately and it weakens everything built on it.

Common questions
Latest market note: Denver Industrial Market, Q2 2026: What the Numbers Mean for Valuation
How much does a commercial appraisal cost?
Fees depend on the property type, size, complexity, and intended use. Send the property address and intended use for a fee quote and delivery date.
How long does a commercial appraisal take?
We set the delivery date with you at engagement to fit your timeline. Complexity and how quickly rent rolls, operating statements, and property access come in both play a part, and we will tell you up front if a date is tight.
