Business Enterprise Value for Commercial Real Property: Get a Fresh Perspective - New York, NY

Featured Speaker: Mary O’Connor, MRICS, ASA, Partner, RGL Forensics

Two hours of continuing education credit have been applied for in New York and New Jersey. Service excellence for appraisers, assessors and real estate professionals largely rests on applying the proper methods for valuing business enterprises and intangible assets of commercial real estate. This concern is central to all the reasons we appraise real estate, such as bank financing, property tax appeal, condemnation, contract negotiation at sale, financial statement reporting and litigation. In this course, Mary O’Connor, ASA, MRICS, will give commercial real estate professionals insight into a fresh approach to valuing business enterprise for commercial real property from a business valuation appraiser’s point of view. Presentation and discussion will investigate: Delineation of the relationship between business enterprise value and a property’s underlying intangible assets using accepted financial valuation theory; Comparison of leading theories on the subject; Analysis of recent court opinions; Case studies from a hotel, a hospital and a senior living facility that are used to value the entire enterprise, as well as certain intangible assets such as the flag and franchise, assembled workforce and profit/service centers.

What you will get from this course Participants will come away from this course with a solid understanding of the new approaches arising from the interplay between prevailing real estate appraisal and financial theories – and will be able to apply these concepts for immediate client benefit.
