What else do appraisers do?

In addition to estimating the value of real estate, The Martens Companies Appraisal Department provides a variety of consulting services:

Market Rental Analysis - If you own a property and consider leasing it to another party, the market rental analysis will tell you what other properties are leasing for, and what you could expect to rent your property for. If you are considering entering into a lease agreement, the market rental analysis could save you thousands of dollars by telling you what you should pay for rent.

Highest and Best Use Analysis - If you own (or consider buying) a piece of real estate, and need an analysis as to what would put that property to the most profitable use and provide the greatest return, a Highest and Best Use Analysis will provide you with answers and possible solutions.

Feasibility Studies - If you are building or redeveloping investment real estate, a feasibility study will analyze the existing and planned supply of competing properties, and estimate the demand for the market as a whole, as well as the potential demand for your property. This product can also include sensitivity analyses to provide you with a bottom-line impact from various rent, occupancy and expense scenarios.

Real Estate Tax Appeals - Paying too much in real estate taxes? Our appraisal staff can assist you in a variety of ways. You can obtain an appraisal and appeal the taxes yourself, we can guide you through the process (provide assistance when you need it), or we can do the appeal for you.

If you have questions about real estate - our qualified staff can provide you with solutions. Call (316) 262-0000, (800) 305-3131, or e-mail appraisal@martenscos.com
