Right­-of-Way & Corridor Appraisal

Right-of-way valuation, or corridor appraisal, requires unique methodologies, skills, and corridor factor data rarely found among appraisal firms. Corridor appraisal methodologies used include “across-the-fence” and “corridor factor” analysis. Selecting and utilizing the appropriate methodology given the appraisal problem at hand is of the utmost importance. Equally important is the ability to review appraisals and analyze methodologies used by others, and provide consulting and advisory services backed up by credible expert witness testimony when the need arises.  JRES provides a variety of right-of-way and corridor services:

  • Value individual properties or consulting on appraising rights of way and corridors
  • Consult and advise regarding identification of the larger parcel for eminent domain appraisal
  • Select appropriate valuation methodology including across the fence or corridor factor analysis
  • Conduct due diligence into property specific physical, legal, and governmental constraints
  • Evaluate property value trends over historical time periods
  • Review appraisal reports and provide expert witness testimony

Bill James and his company, James Real Estate Services, provides timely and competent appraisal services. I have used JRES several times over the years and I found their work to be very well done. Their assertions are fully supported and their overall results are realistic. Bill’s experience in transportation in the Cherry Creek area of Denver, as well as his board membership with the RTD gives him special insight to transportation related issues and how it can impact values. This company is a pleasure to deal with and I would certainly continue to draw on their expertise whenever opportunities arise.
