Use Market Value to Make the Right Ownership Decision

A credible broker opinion of value should do more than state a number. It should show how current income, buyer underwriting, financing, and market evidence translate into a probable value range—and help you compare a sale with holding, refinancing, recapitalizing, exchanging, or restructuring ownership.

  • Sell vs. HoldCompare today’s market value with income, growth, capital needs, and likely exit timing.
  • Refinance or RecapitalizeTest refinance proceeds, DSCR, equity needs, and whether recapitalization is preferable to a sale.
  • 1031 Exchange or Equity RedeploymentEvaluate likely net sale proceeds and whether redeploying equity could better support portfolio objectives.
  • Ownership or Partnership TransitionEstablish a defensible value framework for partner changes, buyouts, succession, or estate-planning discussions.

How Buyers and Lenders Will Underwrite the Property

Multifamily value begins with sustainable NOI, but the market does not price income in isolation. The analysis reconciles operations with comparable sales, rent upside, physical condition, current debt markets, taxes, and the depth of the likely buyer pool.

  • Property Operations & Sustainable NOIRecast in-place income and expenses to determine sustainable NOI and identify material normalization items.
  • Comparable Sales & Market EvidenceReconcile recent multifamily trades, cap rates, price per unit, location, condition, and transaction context.
  • Rent & Expense BenchmarksCompare current rents and operating costs with relevant market evidence to quantify upside, risk, and normalized operations.
  • Capital Markets & FinancingTest leverage, interest rates, amortization, DSCR, and lender constraints that directly influence buyer pricing.
  • Buyer Demand & MarketabilityAssess likely buyer profiles, depth of demand, perceived risks, and the features most likely to affect competition.

What Your Broker Opinion of Value Includes

Your broker opinion of value is designed to show where the property is likely to trade, why buyers are likely to price it there, and what may improve the outcome before a sale or refinance.

  • Probable Market Value RangeReconcile income, cap-rate, and comparable-sale evidence into a supportable probable range rather than a single unsupported number.
  • Rent & Expense BenchmarkingCompare the rent roll and operating costs with relevant market benchmarks to identify upside and normalization issues.
  • Interest-Rate & Pricing SensitivityShow how financing costs, leverage, and DSCR can affect buyer proceeds, debt capacity, and achievable pricing.
  • Buyer Demand ProfileIdentify the likely buyer types for the property’s unit count, submarket, condition, price point, and financing profile.
  • Pre-Sale Value RecommendationsFlag practical items that may improve positioning, reduce buyer objections, or protect value before marketing or refinancing.
