MAXIMIZE YOUR RETURN
An accurate and comprehensive property evaluation is essential to achieving the highest return in today’s market. At DRM Real Estate, we assess the unique characteristics of your asset to position it competitively and highlight its full value. By understanding and leveraging the factors below, we enhance your listing’s appeal and support a successful, results-driven transaction.
LOCATION
Properties in high-demand areas consistently command stronger interest and higher values. Proximity to major roadways, transit corridors, commercial hubs, and high-traffic zones directly influences buyer perception and long-term potential—making location one of the most critical value indicators.
ZONING & LAND USE
Zoning dictates what a property can be used for—and therefore heavily impacts its marketability. Listings with flexible or in-demand zoning categories typically attract stronger offers, while restrictive zoning may limit use and require strategic pricing or repositioning.
SIZE & LAYOUT
Lot size and building layout affect both function and development potential. Larger properties offer greater flexibility, while efficient, well-configured layouts improve usability and tenant attraction. Building classification (Class A, B, or C) also impacts perceived value and expected performance.
CONDITION
Well-maintained properties tend to reduce buyer hesitation and increase deal velocity. Move-in-ready buildings, clean sites, and minimal prep work can greatly enhance interest and saleability—while deferred maintenance or visible issues may require price adjustments or longer timelines.
UTILITIES & INFRASTRUCTURE
Access to essential services like water, sewer, electricity, and roadways significantly affects both usability and valuation. Properties with existing or easily accessible infrastructure often command higher prices, particularly in development scenarios.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
Buyers are willing to pay a premium for properties with long-term upside. Whether through rezoning, subdivision, or municipal growth plans, the ability to reposition or develop a site adds measurable value. Identifying and articulating these opportunities is key to maximizing return.
