Valbridge Property Advisors is a prominent franchise network specializing in real estate valuation and appraisal services across the United States. Established in 2013, the brand emerged when several independent appraisal practices unified under a single national identity.
Based in Naples, Florida, the organization operates through Valbridge Property Advisors Franchising System, LLC, supporting a nationwide presence.
The franchise delivers a broad portfolio of valuation and advisory solutions for commercial, industrial, residential, and unique-use properties. Its services cover areas such as fair value reporting, purchase price allocation, risk evaluation, right-of-way analysis, and expert support for legal matters.
A key differentiator for Valbridge is its emphasis on independence. The company does not engage in brokerage activities, allowing it to focus solely on appraisal and consulting work to maintain objective, conflict-free results.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Valbridge Property Advisors provides a structured training program for its franchisees, aimed at supporting both the initial setup and ongoing operations. Here are the main components of the training and support programs offered by the franchisor:
Valbridge Property Advisors does not offer exclusive territory protection. Franchisees are assigned a defined Territory, but Valbridge and other franchisees can operate and market within that area without compensating the franchisee.
The franchisor may approve multiple offices in the Territory but has full discretion to deny such requests. Franchisees have no rights to block others from operating or marketing in their Territory, and they are not granted expansion rights to additional areas.
