Experience is important when appraising manufacturing properties because lots of equipment is considered personal property and does not go with the real estate. It is important to separate the real property from the personal manufacturing equipment for these property types.

We have thousands of hours appraising warehouses, including properties as small as 3,000 square feet and others larger than 250,000 square feet. The ratio of building area to site area can be of particular importance when appraising these properties; many participants in the market desire industrial site storage area.

With the storage market throughout the US booming, we have taken the appropriate steps to learn this niche market over the past few years.

We know the ins and outs of appraising distribution properties. The value of a distribution hub or truck terminal typically relies on good access to roadways and freeways. Ease of truck access and loading may also affect the value of these properties.
