Consulting
Feasibility Studies
In a feasibility study, we apply our appraisal skills to develop the highest and best use of a property based on an analysis of property and market characteristics for different potential uses. Together with our clients, we assess the best-and worst-case scenarios inherent in each prospective use.
Market Studies
We use our existing knowledge base combined with our considerable resources, including extensive real estate contacts and ability to research databases, to provide in-depth market studies for our clients. We determine prevailing market rent levels, vacancy rates, and other typical lease terms in conjunction with general economic conditions and demographics in order to assess the impact of the real estate market on an investment.
Acquisition/Divestiture Analysis
Before an acquisition/divestiture of property, we devote long hours of research into numerous factors, such as market conditions, financial conditions, and the physical condition of the property. We identify the risks involved, namely the capital risk, the market risk and liquidity concerns. To complete this analysis, we help the buyer/seller determine a reasonable market value for their asset or potential asset by evaluating the their asset or potential asset by evaluating the future benefits of the property cash flow, tax consequences, and equity and capital issues necessary for a successful investment.
