How much does a commercial appraisal cost?

Commercial appraisals start at $2,500. The fee depends on property type, tenant count, how much market data exists, and your deadline. The scope of work is the main driver: the extent of research, the data gathered and the analysis applied, all of which follow from the purpose of the appraisal and its intended use. We quote a fixed fee in writing before any work begins.

How long does a commercial appraisal take?

Commercial assignments are typically completed in 10 to 15 business days. More challenging or complex assignments can take up to 20 business days. You get a written scope, fee and delivery date within 24 hours of enquiring, so the timeline is agreed before the engagement starts.

What determines the fee?

Property type, location, and the intended use of the report. An appraisal prepared for IRS filing or for testimony carries a different scope than one for a routine refinance, and scope is what sets the fee.

Retail & Shopping Center Appraisal

Retail & Shopping Center Appraisal & Valuation

We value single‑tenant net lease assets, strip centers, neighborhood centers, and larger open‑air shopping centers for investors, owners, and lenders.

Why Retail Valuation Matters

Retail performance hinges on tenant credit, lease structure, co‑tenancy, anchor strength, and consumer trends. Vacancy, rollover risk, dark anchors, and redevelopment potential all play a role in determining realistic cash flow and value.

How We Value Retail

Our analysis includes rent roll review, lease abstraction, percentage rent structures, CAM recoveries, and trade area demographics. We pair income and sales approaches with market rent studies and cap rate analysis segmented by center type and tenant mix. Reports are tailored for financing, acquisition/disposition, tax appeal, and strategic planning.

What clients say

I have been working with Eric and Gravitas Valuation for some time now, and I find his work to be trustworthy and credible. As a residential appraiser, I feel very comfortable with referring my clients who need commercial appraisals to them.
