Appraisal/Consulting
Appraisal
BCS Real Estate is the premier real-estate appraisal and consulting firm in British Columbia. Our expertise is unsurpassed and our reputation is impeccable. We accomplish our results with a combination of the following:
Information
BCS Real Estate uses a broad array of data base and informal information about real estate in British Columbia. We have internal and external data bases in such areas as:
- Sales History and Comparable Sales
- Rent & Lease Comparables
- Property Tax Information
Armed with this information, we are able to go to the next phase in our process.
Analysis & Judgement
Our analytical skills are unmatched in our industry. We use current and future rents, and develop a detailed cash flow analysis using Argus Enterprise financial software. We compare cash flow and capitalization rates to provide an accurate ‘income based approach’ on any property. The detailed cash flow analysis is also a helpful tool in determining lending and investment risks.
We use a similar analytical approach when appraising developments…looking at potential rents, sales and other factors to determine the ultimate value of a finished project. This provides invaluable information for developers making site purchase decisions or investors looking to fund these projects.
Not only do we look at the raw numbers, we use our experience and judgement to determine the ultimate valuation of clients’ properties. This underlying knowledge of the real estate market allows us to give you confidence in our appraisals…allowing you to make better financial decisions.
