Key Factors Considered in Appraisal

A retail property appraisal requires an in-depth evaluation of numerous market and financial factors. Our appraisal reports consider:

1. Location & Market Demand

A retail property's value heavily depends on foot traffic, accessibility, and proximity to key consumer demographics.

2. Rental Income & Lease Terms

Properties with long-term leases and strong tenants tend to have higher valuations. Our retail property appraisers assess rental income, lease structures, and market rental rates.

3. Comparable Sales & Market Conditions

We analyze recent retail property sales in Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties to determine a fair market value.

4. Property Condition & Usability

A well-maintained property with modern amenities and favorable zoning regulations typically holds a higher value than outdated retail spaces with costly repair requirements.
