How Our Washington DC Commercial Appraisal Process Works
We discuss your property, purpose, and timing to determine the appropriate scope of work.
You receive a written proposal outlining fee, timeline, and assumptions; once approved, we proceed.
We inspect as required, gather market data, and complete income, sales, and cost analyses as applicable.
You receive a USPAP‑compliant report, and we remain available for questions, underwriting, and potential testimony.
If you need a commercial appraisal in the Washington DC area or anywhere in Washington DC’s across the National Capital Region, we’re here to help. Contact us today to discuss your property and situation and receive a written proposal within 24 hours.
The National Capital Region crosses three sets of rules for assessment, zoning and transfer tax. We appraise in all three and value each property against the submarket it actually competes in, not the line on the map.
We cover the Washington DC metro through a vetted local appraiser who is certified general in that state and signs the report, while Eric Sobotka, MAI sets the scope and reviews every file before it leaves. You get local market knowledge and MAI-level review in one engagement, under one point of contact.
