If you finance or invest in small-cap commercial assets,
Boxwood Means has a solution for you
Since our beginnings as a real estate research firm, we have built a data-centric culture, a tech-intensive infrastructure and an industry reputation for providing tools and insights that boost performance in the small-cap CRE domain.
We offer a wide range of valuation products and services designed to fit any kind of financial institution and every type of collateral-from warehouses and strip centers to office condos, mixed use properties and more.
Our flagship valuation product is a series of commercial evaluation reports under the FieldSmart brand. See our full suite of property valuation products below. Also below is information on our unique, subscription-based small-balance loan reports and prices indices that yield big-picture insights about small-cap CRE investment markets that tend to travel under the radar.
For fast, reliable valuations, our FieldSmart series of commercial evaluations are unsurpassed.
Each FieldSmart commercial evaluation report provides a professional, fully supported opinion of value based on in-depth research of a subject property's
attributes and sales and/or rent comparables, including line-item detail, for one of three valuation approaches:
FieldSmart reports come with either an exterior or exterior-interior inspection and are available nationwide. At significantly less cost than a full appraisal, you get an evaluation that is fully compliant with federal agency guidelines and backed by our in-house team of appraisers and analysts who are committed to delivering the highest-quality valuation product on time, every time.
Struggling with high appraisal costs? Our abbreviated Streamline Appraisal product was specifically designed to provide all the quality and confidence of a full appraisal without breaking the bank.
Currently available in more than 30 states, Streamline leverages Boxwood's tech-intensive valuation platform and proprietary analytics to generate a USPAP- and FIRREA-compliant appraisal report quickly and at a very reasonable cost.
Looking for even greater savings? Try our Restricted Appraisal – a condensed version of our Streamline report that still delivers the quality valuations for which Boxwood Means is known.
When you need an immediate estimate of a commercial property's value, you need Valpro—our instant, objective automated valuation model (AVM) product for small-cap CRE properties.
Valpro is a hybrid statistical model that creates an estimate of value based on an extensive pool of property, sales and market data. Every Valpro report also includes building characteristics, tax assessed value, location maps and a confidence score. Simply enter a property's address, and within seconds, Valpro delivers an accurate estimate of value. Use Valpro for a quick confirmation of value, to size a loan or to QC any other market value assessments – or use it to update LTVs on loan portfolios to determine potential loss severity and overall value.
Our complementary product, Valpro PC, combines Boxwood's AVM with an inspection of the subject property. Valpro PC complies with federal agency guidelines for a commercial property evaluation report used by bank institutions.
