Experts in Commercial Real Estate

Appraisals in the Greater Delaware Valley

As a Philadelphia-based firm we have local, in-depth knowledge of the Greater Delaware Valley market which translates into valuations that are thoughtful, detailed, and reflective of the forces, intangibles and projected future changes that impact real estate value. These are the subjective ingredients that dovetail with our state-of-the-art technology resources and are essential for an accurate appraisal.

This combination of analytics and discernment of market influences is applied to the various industry sectors within the market – industrial, multifamily, mixed-use, office, retail, hospitality, institutional, and special use.

Providing You Support

Accurate information is essential in driving business decisions, especially for the purchasing, selling, assessment, development or redevelopment of commercial real estate. In today’s ever-changing world understanding the value of a property or project in the now – and in the future – is how we support investors, owners, lenders, brokers, accountants and attorneys in making their decisions on a property or project.

Our reports furnish viewpoints from two angles:

Inside Out – What does the asset or project mean to the immediate and greater market and how can it perform?
Outside In – How does the market view this asset or project and its potential for performance?

Clients benefit from our structure as a privately-owned firm, which allows us to be nimble and responsive whether servicing the single property of a private owner or a multi-property portfolio of a REIT. Our staff of four licensed and certified appraisers have extensive experience with a multitude of property types and complex assignments specifically in the Delaware Valley.
