Land Appraisal

LandVest’s full suite of consulting and real estate planning services are designed to help landowners make well-informed decisions through the entire ownership cycle: from purchase, through management, to generational transfer or sales.

For each project, we can assemble expert teams, drawn from a wide range of disciplines including:

• Zoning & subdivision
• Commercial real estate
• Forestry
• Agriculture
• Natural resource planning
• Conservation
• Tax planning.

A LandVest appraiser assesses a myriad of factors to ascertain the highest and best use of your land assets and work with you to evaluate alternatives to achieve your goals. Some of the factors considered include:

• Location, size, layout and shape of the land parcel
• Accessibility, roads, and infrastructure needs
• Environmental considerations including wildlife, ecological factors, and conservation opportunities.
• Existing improvements including amenities, utilities, and buildings
• Use restrictions, building requirements, zoning, encumbrances, and easements
• Surface, subsurface, and air rights
• Timber values and opportunities
• Agricultural opportunities and soil conditions
• Suitability for alternative natural asset development: energy opportunities (wind and solar), wetlands, flood, and habitat mitigation.
• Market factors

In combination with these inherent aspects of your land assets, our appraisers have deep experience evaluating market factors, including:

• Supply and demand of similar land parcels
• Commodity value of your land's assets
• Interest and financing environment
• Macro-economic, trade and marketability characteristics
