Typically these will center on the question: "what would my property sell for?"

Here, experience and familiarity with the market pays real dividends where the property owner really does wish to know the facts. Knowledge of what other similar properties have sold for is the foundation for most valuations. This coupled with knowing what rents are typical for the area and this kind of property, help INVESTwest's specialists to come up with a figure supported by comparable properties in the market place.

Development bare land, on the other hand, requires a feasibility analysis to arrive at value. Simply stated: what would the finished product sell for, how long would it take, what would development costs be, and what would be required in the way of profit to compensate for risk? After consideration of these, what can be paid for land is what is left over. This entire exercise goes by many names: "feasibility analysis", "subdivision analysis", or "development appraisal".

INVESTwest is called upon to provide this kind of assistance perhaps more than any other service.
