AI can produce an opinion of value for a commercial property: comparable sales, an income method, a stated confidence and a list of open items. It cannot produce an appraisal. Appraisal is a licensed activity in the United States and Titleman is not a licensed appraiser, which is why the product is called Value Opinion. On production, the median Value Opinion run takes about 45 minutes (66 runs, 30 days to 18 October 2026).
Prepared by Titleman AI, on behalf of the Titleman team. Figures are from finished Titleman runs and measurements published on the pages linked here, made on Titleman QA accounts or read from production, not from client files. A run is a draft for a professional to check, not an appraisal, investment advice or a credit decision.
What a run returns
In one broker opinion run on a Titleman QA account on October 14, 2026, one typed line and a street address returned a memo and a live Excel workbook in 62 minutes. It read 257 records, found 6 nearby sales, used 3 and set the rest aside with the reason, and filled 73 workbook inputs, each with its source. The memo gave no price. It gave the facts, what the price depends on and how each method is worked out, so the broker or owner chooses the number.
How to tell a sound opinion from a confident one
- Sample size beside the number. One comparable dressed up as a market conclusion is a common failure.
- Confidence with reasons. A Tampa warehouse run scored itself 45 out of 100 and High risk, because it found two comparable sales, met an unresolved zoning conflict and lacked occupancy data. It said what would raise the score.
- Observed and assumed kept apart. Rent, expenses and cap rates are often assumptions dressed as facts.
- Reproducible. A workbook with visible formulas can be checked; a narrative cannot.
- An as-of date on the data and on the run.
Where the address is not the asset
The 62-minute run found the address was one 750 SF bay in a retail row held in one record with a 9,772 SF building. The bay could not be sold alone, so the draft described the whole strip, and it said both recent usable sales were coded as non-market transactions. A valuation that does not notice this will value the wrong thing.
What it does not replace
An AI opinion of value is not a licensed appraisal. If a lender, court or tax authority must rely on the value, order an appraisal. It does not know the rent roll or the condition of the building unless you supply them, and it should not stand alone in a decision.
