Value Navigator™
Broker opinions of value and property evaluation
The free value range is the quick version. This page is about the deeper work.
Value Navigator, the service, is a broker opinion of value (BOV), an evaluation of an apartment building in Washington DC, Virginia, or Maryland, where I am licensed. It is a deeper analysis than the free range, and it can be prepared for a lender such as a bank.
A broker opinion of value is not an appraisal
A BOV is an evaluation, not a formal valuation. It is not an appraisal, and it does not replace a licensed appraisal where a lender or the law requires one. If a lender asks for an appraisal, you need an appraisal. Ask the lender which one it needs first.
Start with the free value range
The free Value Navigator range is the first step. Send the rent roll and the trailing 12 months, and I return a conservative, base, and optimistic value with the assumptions written out. It shows where your numbers stand.
Who does what
I am a real estate advisor and broker. I am not an appraiser, an attorney, or a tax advisor, and this page is not appraisal, legal, tax, or lending advice. Rules differ by city, county, and state. Consult a licensed professional where the property is located.
