Due to a lack of environmental expertise, most traditional real estate brokerage firms struggle when attempting to market and sell environmentally-impacted properties. Consequently, when faced with an environmentally-distressed property, many traditional real estate brokers will:
- Relegate the environmentally impacted site to the the “back burner” – unduly increasing time-on-market
- Trivialize the listings environmental condition – causing transactions to fail in later stages while under increased buyer scrutiny – resulting in lost time and money
- Believe in the rhetoric of “predatory buyers” and recommend seller to accept offers substantially below fair market value
- Rely exclusively upon the environmental engineers of the seller when communicating with prospective buyers – increasing seller’s costs and stressing the daily operations of in-house environmental departments
- Fail to recognize and promote environmental solutions that would unlock the sites “highest and best use” – maximizing returns for the seller
- Fail to recognize, understand and promote State and Federal brownfield incentives available to prospective buyers
Appraisals:
Knowing the cost to cure and/or contain an environmental liability and contrasting such to the appraised worth of the associated real estate asset does not provide a true indication of value. Real estate appraisers generally assume that no environmental liabilities exist. Environmental consultants generally asses the cost to cure and/or contain a liability without considering the use – or future uses – of the associated real estate asset. All too often this gap between professional practitioners creates real world problems.
EnviroAnalytics Group effectively prevents this problem by producing MAI certified appraisals in conjunction with and consideration of environmental impacts and requisite remedial activity. Our unique capability within this field will…
- Prevent unnecessary diminution of real estate value due to stigma
- Prevent underestimation of environmental cure or containment costs
- Provide analysis of potential site uses and the associated costs to cure and/or contain for such use and determine the achievable “highest and best use”
- Educate sellers, buyers, and lenders effectively leveling the transaction field by removing uncertainty
- Help corporate accountants to accurately assess and report values
