What the appraisal involves
We assess your property against current market conditions, recent comparable rentals, and the specific characteristics of your asset. Depending on your location and circumstances, this may be conducted on-site or remotely — either way, the advice you receive reflects a genuine understanding of your property, not a number pulled from a database.
Our approach is not to produce the highest estimate, but the most accurate and defensible position in the current market. We assess not only what your property could achieve, but where it should be positioned — given its condition, presentation, and current tenant demand.
You will receive a clear rental range, a considered view of your property’s presentation, and guidance on how to improve both tenancy quality and long-term return. There is no obligation to proceed, and no expectation beyond the advice.
What to expect
We aim to respond to all appraisal requests within one business day. From there, we will confirm the most appropriate approach for your property — on-site or remote — and arrange a time that suits you.
Every appraisal is handled with care and confidentiality. We take the time to understand your situation before making any recommendations. We will always explain our reasoning, not just the outcome — so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Why landlords seek a second opinion
Many properties are under- or over-priced due to outdated assumptions or generic advice. A considered appraisal provides clarity before decisions are made — and helps avoid costly missteps in pricing and tenant selection.

Frequently asked questions about property appraisals
What is a rental appraisal?
A rental appraisal is an assessment of what your property could reasonably achieve in the current rental market. It takes into account comparable properties, local demand, and the specific condition and characteristics of your asset.
Is a rental appraisal free?
Yes. Our rental appraisal service is complimentary and without obligation.
Do you conduct on-site appraisals?
Yes. Depending on your property's location and circumstances, we can arrange an on-site inspection or conduct the appraisal remotely using current market data and comparable rentals. We will confirm the most appropriate approach when we are in touch.
What happens after the appraisal?
We provide a clear rental range and honest advice on your property's position, based on current market evidence and your property's specific characteristics. If you decide to proceed with Leotta & Co, we will outline exactly how we manage the process from there.
I already have a property manager. Can I still request an appraisal?
Yes. Many landlords request an appraisal simply to understand whether their current rental return reflects the market. If you are considering a change, we handle the transition process on your behalf with no disruption to your tenancy.
