Comprehensive Land Appraisal Services

Vacant land is commonly the hardest real estate to value. Like a blank slate, there is unknown potential. However, in today’s world of myriad land use laws, regulations, use impacts, and interest groups with divergent agendas, determining the best land use is a challenge likened to peeling the layers of an onion.

The Foster Company can help you find the pearl at the center instead of tears. Since 1925 we have developed land. Our staff continues to deliver hands-on experience and diverse skills to the questions of highest and best use, and value. Vacant land and property for re-development or reuse requires an understanding of the physical conditions and potential. We are adept at asking the right legal and regulatory questions and finding viable answers.

One of our greatest assets is our ability to sense the marketplace as we draw from decades of experience in marketing and sales. We can discern feasibility and the best land use at a particular time by using our thorough reading of the market’s pulse, demographic trends, and cycles.

The Foster Company has also been involved in preserving some of the most remarkable landscapes. In the early 1960s we sold a pristine waterfront tract known as Fort Hill on Nauset Harbor in Eastham to The Cape Cod National Seashore. We have continued to provide appraisal work for various conservation and preservation clients being involved with some of their most important projects.

For your most challenging and sensitive projects, you can trust The Foster Company to come up with the right answers.
