Partial and Undivided Interest Appraisals
Appraisals of fractional and undivided interests in commercial and investment real estate, for estates, gifts, family transfers, partnerships and partition disputes.
Undivided interests
When heirs or partners own shares of the same property, a fractional share is often worth less than its pro rata part of the whole.
Why a discount can apply
A partial owner usually cannot control the property, force a sale or easily find a buyer, and buyers price that in.
Estates and gifts
Estate and gift tax filings for fractional interests need a well-supported value of the whole property and of the interest.
Partition and buyouts
Values for co-owners who want to divide property or buy each other out.
Common questions
Is a partial interest worth less than its share of the whole?
Often, yes, but the amount depends on the property, the ownership agreement and the market. It has to be supported, not assumed.
Do you also value LLC and partnership interests?
We appraise the real estate inside the entity. Discounts for interests in the entity itself are typically valued by a business appraiser, and we work alongside them.
Need a commercial appraisal?
Tell us about the property and what the appraisal is for. We will respond with a fee and a delivery date, usually within one business day.
