The cap rate a broker quotes. The value an appraiser puts in a report. The price a buyer is willing to pay. These three numbers are rarely the same, and understanding why is one of the most valuable skills in this industry.
Tim Garey (Cushman and Wakefield), will bring the appraiser’s perspective, including a look at the Self Storage Performance Quarterly (SSPQ), the industry’s most widely referenced valuation report.
Austin McLeod (Matthews Real Estate Investment Services), will bring an active listing to the table and walk through how buyers and brokers are actually pricing deals today.
Noah Starf(TractIQ), will connect it all with live data across more than $750 million of active listings in 38 states.
