Property Evaluations: Costo Construction helps Real Estate Buyers by providing Real Estate Evaluation Services.
Smart Investors Know: “Money is made on the purchase, not the sale. Getting a great deal on a real estate purchase is very important.”
When it comes to purchasing real estate, whether residential or commercial, the stakes are high. Every decision can lead to significant financial implications, making it essential for buyers to gather comprehensive insights before closing a deal. At Costo Construction, we specialize in providing detailed property evaluations and constructability reviews that arm our clients with the critical information they need to make informed decisions. Our approach not only enhances negotiating power but also saves our clients time and money in the long run.
Case Study: Luxury Residential Real Estate
“I’ll gladly spend $10,000 to $15,000 to save myself $200,000 to $300,000”
Recently, we partnered with a luxury residential client interested in a high-value property. Understanding the complexities involved in such investments, our team was retained to conduct a thorough review of the premises. We identified several potential problem areas, including signs of water damage, outdated electrical systems, non-compliance with building codes, wildfire safety mitigation issues, and a large HVAC system nearing the end of its expected lifespan.
Our findings were meticulously documented, and we produced a comprehensive report detailing the necessary repairs, complete with photographs and a full anticipated budget for the work required. We also outlined a realistic schedule for completion, ensuring our client was informed of the timeline they could expect.
Armed with this information, our client was able to evaluate the seller’s asking price against the anticipated costs of necessary improvements. This strategic insight enabled them to formulate a more reasonable offer, backed by solid reasoning derived from our evaluations. Ultimately, this approach not only strengthened their negotiating position but also ensured they were making a sound investment.
Benefits for Commercial Property Owners
The advantages of our evaluations extend beyond residential properties. Commercial property owners face unique challenges, including compliance with complex regulations and the need for adaptive reuse. At Costo Construction, we have helped numerous commercial clients navigate these waters, saving them millions of dollars and years of potential issues.
For instance, in a recent project, we were engaged by a commercial investor looking to acquire a multi-tenant office building. By assembling a team of specialized local and vetted trades, along with registered professionals and consultants, we conducted a thorough review of the property. Our evaluations unearthed critical compliance issues, including ADA non-compliance and outdated safety features.
We provided our client with a detailed report that included not only the identified issues but also the associated costs of required repairs and an estimated schedule for completion. This invaluable information allowed our client to approach negotiations with a clear understanding of the investment needed to bring the property up to code, ultimately leading to a more advantageous purchase price.
Our Model: Acting as Owner Representatives
At Costo Construction, we pride ourselves on acting as owner representatives for our investor clients. Our model is designed to ensure that every client is as informed as possible prior to making offers on real estate. By generating written reports that highlight problem areas, non-compliance issues, and associated costs, we empower our clients to enter negotiations with confidence.
We understand that the real estate market can be unpredictable, and buyers must be equipped with the right tools to make sound decisions. Our evaluations provide that clarity, allowing clients to foresee potential expenses and challenges before they make a commitment.
In a world where real estate investments can lead to significant financial outcomes, having a partner like Costo Construction can be the difference between a successful acquisition and a costly mistake.
