Valbridge Property Advisors
Valbridge Property Advisors is an independent commercial real estate appraisal and valuation advisory firm that describes itself as North America's largest. Each Valbridge office is led by an appraiser who holds the MAI designation of the Appraisal Institute, and the appraisers who manage the offices are also shareholders in the company.
The firm appraises office, industrial, retail, multi-family, hotel and hospitality and special-purpose property, and runs specialty practices in fair value accounting and purchase price allocation, evaluations, fractional interest valuation, property risk assessment, right-of-way, lodging and gaming, and estate planning. Advisory work includes market and feasibility analysis with rent and demand studies, site and location selection, property tax assessment review and appeals, eminent domain and easement valuation, REO and foreclosure evaluation, valuations for financial reporting and for insurance, estate planning and trusteeship, litigation support with expert witness testimony, business and partnership valuation, and construction draw inspections.
Offices are listed across states including Texas, Maryland, Massachusetts, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee, and coverage extends across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The firm takes single-property assignments as well as portfolio, multi-market and bulk-property engagements, and states plainly that it is not owned by an investment company or brokerage firm.
Fees are set per assignment and are not published. Confirm scope, turnaround and the designation of the appraiser assigned to your property type with the local office.
