Sacramento Commercial Appraisers Near You

Looking for a commercial appraiser near you in Sacramento? Vanguard Realty Advisors has completed more than 270 commercial appraisal assignments across the Sacramento region since 2011, from industrial buildings in Rancho Cordova, West Sacramento and Galt to office and retail in downtown Sacramento, Roseville and Folsom. Sacramento assignments are led by Matthew Reynolds, MAI, and every report is signed by a state-certified general appraiser.

We appraise commercial property throughout Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties, including Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, Carmichael, North Highlands, West Sacramento, Davis, Woodland, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Placerville, Auburn, Lincoln and South Lake Tahoe, plus Yuba City and Marysville to the north.

Roseville, Rocklin and Placer County

Roseville is the Sacramento region’s second-largest commercial market, and we appraise office, retail, medical and industrial property there and across Placer County, including a medical office building in Roseville. Retail centers around the Galleria at Roseville and the Fountains, medical office near the Sutter and Kaiser Roseville campuses, and newer office and flex buildings along Highway 65 and I-80 into Rocklin and Lincoln each trade differently, so we use Placer County comparables rather than downtown Sacramento data. Most appraisals cost $3,000–$4,000 and are delivered in 2–3 weeks.

Elk Grove, Folsom and El Dorado Hills

We also appraise commercial property south and east of Sacramento, led by Matthew Reynolds, MAI. In Elk Grove our work includes industrial and office buildings. In Folsom and El Dorado Hills we appraise retail centers, office buildings and business-park property along the Highway 50 corridor. Most commercial appraisals here cost $3,000–$4,000 and are delivered in 2–3 weeks.

Auburn, Lincoln and the Foothills

North and east of Roseville, we appraise commercial property in Lincoln, Auburn and the Placer and Nevada County foothills, including Grass Valley, led by Matthew Reynolds, MAI. Our work there includes retail buildings, small apartment properties and owner-user commercial buildings. Foothill properties often sit on larger or sloped parcels with fewer recent sales, so we widen the search for comparables and adjust for location and site. Most commercial appraisals here cost $3,000–$4,000 and are delivered in 2–3 weeks.

Yuba City and Marysville

North of Sacramento, we appraise retail, office and land in Yuba City and Marysville, mostly along Highway 99 and the downtown corridors. Most commercial appraisals here cost $3,000–$4,000 and are delivered in 2–3 weeks.

How We Value Commercial Property in Sacramento

Commercial appraisers in Sacramento value property using three approaches: the income approach, the sales comparison approach and the cost approach.

• Income approach. If the property is income-producing, such as a leased office building or a multi-tenant industrial building, the income approach is usually the main approach to value.
• Sales comparison approach. If the property is vacant or owner-occupied, such as vacant land or an owner-occupied building, the sales comparison approach is usually the main approach to value.
• Cost approach. If the property is special-use, such as a church, school or agricultural processing facility, the cost approach is usually the main approach to value.

Which approach leads depends on several factors, including the property’s highest and best use, the likely buyer or user (owner-user, investor or developer) and the quality and comparability of the available market data. Every Sacramento assignment is led by an MAI-designated principal and signed by a state-certified general appraiser.

Date-of-Death Appraisals in Sacramento

When a property owner passes away, executors, trustees and their attorneys usually need a retrospective appraisal of the commercial property as of the date of death. It establishes the heirs’ stepped-up cost basis, supports IRS filings such as Form 706, and gives the family a defensible value for dividing, selling or buying out the property. We prepare IRS-qualified, MAI-signed date-of-death appraisals of commercial property and land throughout the Sacramento region.
