Broker Opinion of Price Service
Broker Opinion of Price – services offered by David Dornbos
At its core, a Broker Opinion of Price generally includes an analysis of the property’s physical attributes. This encompasses the structure’s condition, age, and any noteworthy features that will either increase or limit property’s market value.
How much is it worth? This statement invariably is asked by both prospective buyers and current owners of commercial real estate investment properties at the beginning of almost any discussion concerning a property they are considering either acquiring or considering selling.
The truth is there is no one definitive right answer to the question of value. The truth is value lies within the eyes of the beholder.
Value means different things from different vantage positions. A seller wants to assign the higher value, often based on rumors, outdated non-similar area sales, and gut reliance based on personal ‘feelings.’ A commercial real estate broker hired by a lender has a bias view on value based on industry methodologies and underwriting criteria established by their client (lenders), an insurance company has a different view of value based on their underlying insurance policy commitment.
Investors are concerned with their projection(s) of investment return. Business owners view a commercial property’s value from a business operations perspective, and for them value is determined based on where the property is located within their logistical supply chain, proximality to their customer or employee base, a properties physical conditions and limitations (e.g. ceiling height, loading door location and access to key roadways etc.).
All of these vested interests will apply a different methodology to determine ‘value’ of the same parcel of real estate. Often these competing views of value will conflict.
Sometimes, navigating between conflicting interests, to consummate a mutually beneficial transaction, requires an unbiased balanced third-party real estate professional to bring the parties together to negotiate a mutually beneficial conclusion.
A Broker Opinion of Price is a crucial document that can provide an opinion of the fair market pricing of a property from multiple perspectives from a licensed real estate professional.
This opinion typically serves as a market pricing tool for both buyers and sellers in the real estate market. This document encapsulates a comprehensive assessment of a property’s worth, offering a nuanced perspective that goes beyond mere market trends.
Market dynamics and understanding both seller and buyer needs play a pivotal role in shaping a Broker Opinion of Price. A thorough examination of recent comparable sales (comps) provides a benchmark for determining the property’s fair market price.
These comps are scrutinized for similarities in size, condition, location, and other pertinent factors that may influence how a property is likely to be perceived and the level of demand that can be expected within the marketplace.
Additionally, the document also considers the current state of the local real estate market, considering trends, supply and demand dynamics, and economic indicators. Brokers often incorporate their knowledge of the local market, bringing insights into potential shifts or unique factors influencing property values in the area.
The Broker’s Opinion on Price is not a static proclamation but a dynamic reflection of the ever-evolving real estate landscape. It may include recommendations for strategic enhancements or renovations that could positively impact the property’s value, providing actionable insights for sellers seeking to maximize their returns.
For prospective buyers and sellers, this document can serve as a guide, offering a professional experienced third-party opinion about a property’s worth. Armed with this information, both buyers and sellers can navigate the complex negotiations with a better understanding of the market value, fostering a more transparent and equitable real estate transaction.
