Multi-Family Property Appraisals
How WestRock Performs Multi-Family Property Appraisals
A multi-family commercial property is a complex compilation of several factors and so is the valuation of such a property. An appraisal for multi-family properties is different from single family properties by examining these distinguishing factors. The examination of quantitative data like the number of potential multi family units, rents generated, and the sales of comparable properties all contribute to a multi family property’s valuation.
The comparable sale of similar properties is pivotal to the valuation of multi family properties - you need an experienced appraisal service to analyze this data. WestRock’s appraisers are all knowledgeable of comparative data, contributing variables, and the differences between multi-family property and single family homes. This distinction is crucial in the valuation of these complex properties.
A multi-unit property valuation comes with the market rent factored into the purchase price, which is only established after an appraisal has been conducted. Thus, no part of the selling, buying, or investing process can begin without an appraisal. Commercial real estate is ever fluctuating and the valuation of it is dependent on the market’s behavior, which is reflected in the sales of comparable properties in the past 12 months. WestRock generates each appraisal with quality analysis of the current market designed to provide you with the most accurate appraisal.
Only with a WestRock appraisal will you be able to begin your investment journey with surety and confidence.

Our Real Estate Appraisal Reports
WestRock’s real estate appraisal reports are based on several factors. Any institutional property appraisal will be a result of these three approaches to provide the foundation for this quantitative data analysis:
- Market Approach: A method that values an asset based on comparable property sales. Also known as the sales comparison approach, it tracks recently completed sales of similar properties to determine a property’s current market appeal.
- Cost Approach: A method that values a property based on the replacement cost of constructing a similar property, minus depreciation, plus the site’s value.
- Discounted Cash Flow: A method that estimates the value of an investment based on potential cash flows. Initial and annual costs, estimated income, and any holding periods are all variables used in this method.
Reliable market analysis is crucial for a trustworthy real estate appraisal. Each of our commercial appraisal reports is meticulously prepared with your institutional real estate property in mind. WestRock delivers on accuracy and credibility using factors like:
- Area Analysis: Deduction of relevant market trends, demographic statistics, and economic indicators.
- Zoning Analysis: An in-depth evaluation of the property’s compliance with relevant zoning standards.
- Improvements and Suggestions: Comprehensive descriptions, along with sketches and photographs, to detail a property’s optimized improvements.
- Real Estate Taxes Statistics: This feature analyzes historical and current taxes to project accurate real estate taxes for the subject property.
- Comparison Data: Detailed photos, descriptions, and analytics of comparative properties are provided for comparison. A sales comparison grid depicts all data and any necessary adjustments.
- Income Analysis: Evaluation of historical data to determine a property’s projected income and its requisite expenses.
