Know what your commercial property is worth and what to do next
Good real estate decisions start with an accurate view of value. Swartz Co provides commercial property valuation and consulting for owners, investors, and businesses across Greater Atlanta, so you can decide whether to sell, hold, refinance, lease, or reposition with confidence.
Our broker opinions of value are grounded in current market activity: comparable sales, in-place and market rents, operating expenses, and what buyers are paying for similar property in your submarket. We pair the number with practical advice on how to improve it.
Broker Opinion of Value
Market-based pricing for commercial real estate
A broker opinion of value estimates what your property would likely sell for in today's market. We analyze comparable sales, the rent roll and lease terms, operating expenses, physical condition, and location. For income property, we look at net operating income and market cap rates.
A broker opinion of value is not a formal appraisal. When a lender, court, or tax matter requires a certified appraisal, we will tell you and can help coordinate one. Read more about why the purpose of a valuation matters.

Consulting
Strategy for owners, buyers, and occupiers
Value is only useful if it leads to a decision. We help owners compare selling now against holding, refinancing, or leasing up first, and we identify the improvements, lease changes, or repositioning moves most likely to increase value.
For businesses, we evaluate whether to lease or buy, whether a sale-leaseback makes sense, and how real estate fits into a larger plan such as an expansion or the sale of the business.

When to Get a Valuation
Common reasons owners call us
Owners often ask for a valuation before a sale, during estate or partnership planning, when a lease is about to expire, before refinancing, or when they receive an unsolicited offer. A current valuation helps you respond with facts instead of guesses.
If you are preparing to sell, we can also recommend improvements before sale that buyers are likely to pay for and those that are unlikely to pay back.
Preparing to sell or responding to an offer
Partnership, estate, or succession planning
Refinancing or recapitalization
Lease expirations and repositioning
Property Types
Valuations for every commercial property type
Industrial and warehouse
Distribution, manufacturing, flex, and outdoor storage property.
We use comparable sales and current market data, along with income-based analysis such as cap rates for rental properties. Where it applies, we also consider highest and best use, zoning, and land use.
Is a broker valuation the same as an appraisal?
No. Our valuation is a market-based opinion to support decisions about selling, buying, leasing, refinancing, or holding. Lenders, courts, and tax matters often require a formal appraisal from a licensed appraiser, and we can help you decide which you need.
When should I get a property valuation?
Common triggers are planning a sale or refinance, weighing an offer, setting lease rates, planning capital improvements, or making a hold-versus-sell decision as the market changes.
What does property consultation include?
Consultation covers capital improvement advice, feasibility and redevelopment studies, and strategic planning on when to hold, sell, or reposition a property based on market cycles and your goals.
Which improvements tend to increase a property's value?
It depends on the property and submarket. Upgrades to amenities, energy efficiency, building systems, and appearance can support higher rents and values, and we help you prioritize the improvements most likely to pay off.
What information do you need to start a valuation?
Helpful items include the property address, rent roll and current leases, operating expenses, recent capital work, and any known issues. We can start with what you have and identify what else is needed.
