Long Beach Land Appraisal
Vacant Lot Appraisal and Agricultural Land Appraisals
Tom Garland Appraisals has proven expertise in the area of land appraisal for various forms of real estate in the Long Beach region. Our vacant land appraisal services include residential, commercial and industrial lots for development and agricultural land and building appraisals for rural areas, acreages and ranches for farming or recreational development.
Land Value Estimator
A broader analysis that encompasses a wider range of variables must be studied by an appraiser when calculating values for vacant land. One of the key considerations is determining what the land can be used for, or the feasibility of the specific planned development. Once the ‘highest and best use’ is determined, the standard sales comparison method is used for market analysis.
Vacant land appraisals require more detailed information and a high level of expertise that may include trends in new construction and research on competitors in similar development markets in order to provide accurate cost and profit analysis reports.
Land Appraisal Service
Commercially zoned real estate in Long Beach often requires the qualifications of an experienced and licensed appraiser to provide a detailed market evaluation prior to, or during development. Tom Garland Appraisals offers specialized services that include appraisals for both vacant land and agricultural land in the Long Beach region that can be customized for:
Zoning Research
Tom Garland Appraisals’s qualified experts begin research on zoning regulations laws in the specific areas to properly verify whether vacant land is listed as residential, commercial or industrial and to ensure that no building plans or approvals are already placed on the property.
Sales Comparisons
Unlike sales comparisons used in standard residential and commercial real estate market evaluations, Tom Garland Appraisals appraisals for vacant land in Long Beach reflect figures which are generally calculated at price per square foot, or price per ‘buildable’ square foot. According to the applicable laws and regulations in each Long Beach region.
Land Development
If your land is already under development a Tom Garland Appraisals appraiser can provide development cash flow evaluations which factor in construction costs and other expenses. Some examples being, insurance, real estate property taxes and developer and commercial owner profits and/ or lease commissions.
Adjacent Properties
Data on adjacent properties and any planned development in the area may also affect and/or increase the valuation for vacant land, particularly if property nearby is being purchased for expansion or additional development.
