What Information Helps Us Get Started

What information should I have available?

If readily available, please provide:

  • Current rent roll

  • Leases and amendments

  • Operating statements (typically 2–3 years)

  • Property tax bills

  • Survey, site plan, or floor plans

  • Details on recent improvements or renovations

If some items are not available, provide what you can.

What will the appraiser need access to?

Please ensure access to:

  • Representative tenant spaces

  • Common areas and mechanical rooms

  • Exterior areas, parking, and loading zones

Notifying tenants in advance can help avoid delays.

What questions might the appraiser ask?

  • How the property is currently used and occupied

  • Recent or planned capital improvements

  • Known deferred maintenance

  • Parking, access, or shared-use arrangements

Factual, straightforward answers are best.

Each service is backed by our expertise and commitment to delivering accurate, reliable, and defensible valuations that meet your specific needs.

What should I not worry about?

  • Minor wear and tear

  • Clutter or daily business operations

  • Making cosmetic improvements before the visit

These do not negatively affect the appraisal.

What is the appraiser’s role?

The appraiser provides an independent, objective opinion of value based on market data and property characteristics—not advocacy for a specific outcome.

Bottom Line

Preparation means access and accurate information, not repairs or upgrades. Being organized helps ensure an efficient process and a well-supported appraisal.

Where does an appraiser get the information used to estimate value for my commercial property?

An appraiser relies on multiple independent and verifiable sources to develop an objective opinion of value. These sources typically include:

  • Property-Specific Information
    Data provided by the owner or property manager, such as rent rolls, leases, operating statements, recent improvements, and occupancy details.

  • Public Records
    County auditor records, property tax data, zoning information, recorded sales, and ownership history.

  • Market Data
    Recent sales of comparable properties, current listings, and market trends obtained from verified commercial databases, brokers, and public filings.

  • Income and Expense Data
    Market-supported rental rates, vacancy levels, operating expenses, and capitalization rates relevant to the property type and location.

  • On-Site Inspection
    A physical inspection to confirm property characteristics, condition, layout, and functional utility.

  • Professional Research and Analysis
    Appraisers apply recognized valuation methods and professional judgment to analyze the data and determine how the market would likely view the property.

By combining these sources, the appraiser develops a well-supported, independent opinion of market value based on how buyers and sellers typically make decisions in the marketplace.
