 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had no prior knowledge of commercial leasing when I began my search. I found Mitch through a web search, and he took the time to explain everything to me in detail. Thanks to Mitch, I now have a solid understanding of my situation and the available options. He provided practical, insightful advice that has been incredibly helpful. I truly appreciate his guidance—thank you, Mitch!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend Mitch as a realtor without any reservations.
Mitch has been honest and helpful right from the first meeting we had. I had previously had a bad experience with a realtor, and was skittish of employing another. Mitch was very kind and listened to all of my issues with selling my premises, and allayed all of the worries that I had.
He was very responsive to any questions I had during the process, with good, sane advice, and was very open to listening to my suggestions.
The premises has now been sold, and the entire process - initial meeting, listing the building, revisions that needed to be made, viewings, recommendations for a suitable lawyer to handle the sale, and closing - has been extremely painless and smooth.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was lucky to meet Mitch early on in my lease shopping experience and his help and guidance helped immensely. He explained every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand and I never felt like I was bothering him for more information on something. We recently signed my lease for my first storefront and Mitch helped me get as many benefits as possible and I feel as though I got the best deal I could have because of him.
I definitely recommend working with him if you want to get the best coach in your corner.
Looking forward to hopefully working with him again in the future.

For sellers and buyers

How commercial property is valued

There is no single formula. The right method depends on the type of property and how a buyer will use it. We look at the approaches that fit your asset, often more than one, and recommend an independent appraisal when it helps everyone agree on value.

The income approach

For properties bought for the income they produce, such as apartment buildings and leased industrial, retail and office buildings, buyers and lenders start with the net operating income (NOI) and the capitalization rate (cap rate) that the market applies to similar properties.

A higher cap rate means more perceived risk and a lower value; a lower cap rate means less risk and a higher value. For buildings with leases that change over time, a discounted cash flow looks at the income year by year instead.

Potential rentAll rent the property could earn at full occupancy, plus parking, storage and other income.
Less vacancy and credit lossAn allowance for empty units and unpaid rent.
Less operating expensesProperty taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, maintenance and management that the owner pays.
= Net operating incomeThe income left before mortgage payments and income tax.
÷ Cap rate = ValueFor example, an NOI of $120,000 at a 6.0% cap rate indicates a value of about $2,000,000.

Methods by asset type

Multifamily

Income approach based on in-place rents and expenses, checked against comparable sales. We also look at the gap between current and market rents.

Leased industrial, retail and office

Income approach, weighing the lease terms, the tenant’s strength, the time left on each lease and how expenses are recovered. Multi-tenant buildings often call for a discounted cash flow.

Owner-occupied buildings

Direct comparison with recent sales of similar buildings, adjusted for location, size, condition and features, since the buyer is often a business that will use the space.

Development land

Comparable land sales plus a residual analysis: what zoning allows you to build, the value of the finished project, less construction costs and a developer’s profit.

Special-purpose properties

Schools, places of worship and similar buildings with few comparable sales may use the cost approach: land value plus the depreciated cost to replace the building.

Businesses for sale

Valued mainly on earnings, such as seller’s discretionary earnings or EBITDA, together with equipment, inventory and the lease in place.

If you are selling

We prepare a pro forma that shows your property the way a buyer and lender will see it, so you can set realistic expectations and present the income clearly.

If you are buying

We underwrite each opportunity from your side: income, expenses, financing and returns, so you can compare properties on the numbers.
