FAQs

Why should I choose an independent appraiser over a broker’s opinion?

While brokers are knowledgeable, they are not independent. CVA provides unbiased, independent appraisals that are essential for buy/sell decisions, ensuring you are an informed market participant with a report that is not tied to a commission.

Are your appraisals compliant with lending regulations like FIRREA?

Yes. We provide Title XI (FIRREA) and Small Business Association (SBA) compliant appraisals. We are also experienced in conducting valuations for development projects and other institutional lending requirements.

How can a Cost Segregation study benefit my commercial property?

The IRS allows accelerated depreciation on qualifying property (IRC Section 1245) within commercial real estate. Our studies identify these assets, often saving taxpayers multiples of the cost of the study by increasing near-term cash flow.

How do you handle valuations for property tax or "Ad Valorem" purposes?

Local jurisdictions often use “mass appraisal” techniques that lead to over-assessment. We provide specific, data-driven valuations that reflect the true market value of your unique property to help you challenge disparate tax assessments.
