Methodology

How the
Number Forms.

A valuation is only as defensible as its methodology. Every report produced here follows a four-stage process designed to withstand lender review, judicial scrutiny, and opposing expert challenge.

01

Physical Inspection

Laser-measured floor plans, finish-level documentation, view corridor analysis, and floor premium calculation — every factor that separates the 34th floor from the 44th.

02

Comparable Selection

Minimum 6 closed sales within the same building or comparable towers. Adjustments for floor, exposure, renovation, parking, and storage — documented to USPAP standard.

03

Income Approach (Where Applicable)

For investor-owned units, a discounted cash flow analysis cross-checks the sales comparison. Market rent data sourced from CoStar and proprietary lease databases.

04

Report Delivery

FNMA 1004 or narrative format depending on purpose. Full work file retained for 7 years. Expert witness availability for contested valuations.
