Appraisals

Obtaining an appraisal is an important component of due diligence any time the City acquires or disposes of real property. Most City appraisals are obtained by contract with commercial appraisal firms. RES has a state-certified appraiser who manages the ordering and review of such appraisals.

Environmental analysis

RES typically uses environmental consulting firms in real estate acquisitions and dispositions as part of due diligence.

Real estate brokers

Through on-call contracts, RES often uses real estate brokers to represent the City in the sale of property. For special projects, RES may contract for property-specific real estate services, and can choose from the consultant roster to fill these needs.

Leasing — tenant representation

On occasion and using on-call contracts, RES seeks the services of qualified leasing specialists to assist the City on specific transactions.
