FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What factors influence the value of a commercial property and an apartment?
Commercial value depends on location, income performance, market demand, comparable sales, property condition, zoning allowances, and highest-and-best-use potential. Appraisers analyze financial data, local market behavior, and operational characteristics to determine a property’s realistic value. Each of these variables contributes to a balanced, evidence-based conclusion that reflects current conditions.
How long does a commercial appraisal typically take?
Most commercial appraisals require additional research time due to complexity. The process generally includes inspection, market study, financial analysis, and verification of comparable data. Turnaround varies depending on property type, availability of records, and scope of assignment, but clients should expect a professional timeline grounded in thorough due diligence.
What documents should I provide for a commercial appraisal?
Clients should prepare leases, rent rolls, expense statements, site plans, property records, and improvement history. These materials help validate income data and physical details, ensuring the resulting valuation is accurate. The more complete and organized the documentation, the more efficiently the appraiser can perform analysis and support defensible conclusions.
Are commercial appraisals required for refinancing or new loans?
Yes. Lenders typically require a formal commercial appraisal to confirm collateral value before approving financing or refinancing. Tanner & Associates in Downey, California provides lender-compliant, evidence-based valuations that help underwriters assess risk and determine proper loan terms, ensuring clarity for both lenders and borrowers during credit evaluation.
How does location affect commercial property value?
Location influences accessibility, customer flow, visibility, zoning flexibility, and long-term economic potential. Properties in active commercial corridors or developing regions typically show stronger value trends. Appraisers evaluate surrounding land use, market direction, and neighborhood characteristics to measure how location contributes to overall performance and investor demand.
Can an appraisal support commercial tax appeal cases?
Yes. A professionally prepared commercial appraisal provides the documentation required for challenging assessed values. Accurate market analysis, comparable evidence, and clear methodology strengthen a tax appeal case. Property owners rely on these appraisals to present credible support when disputing overvaluation or requesting a reduction in assessed property taxes.
What types of commercial properties can be appraised?
Appraisers evaluate diverse commercial assets, including retail centers, industrial facilities, office buildings, apartments, multifamily properties, specialty-use structures, and land. Each property type requires tailored analysis based on income, market behavior, and functional characteristics. Tanner & Associates provides specialized evaluation that accurately reflects how each asset performs within its market.
When should I order a commercial appraisal during a transaction?
It is best to request an appraisal early in the transaction process—before negotiations finalize or financing advances. Early valuation clarity helps guide decision-making, assess feasibility, and avoid costly adjustments. Timely ordering ensures lenders, attorneys, CPAs, and investors have accurate information when structuring agreements or preparing documentation.
