This includes not just the interior square footage, but also the legal ownership of any balconies, private terraces, or roof decks. What are the ceiling heights? Is there private elevator access? Documenting these premium attributes is crucial because they're not standard condo features and significantly contribute to value.",

An appraiser needs to look for sales of other penthouses, ideally within the same building or very similar luxury developments in Boca Raton. Simple condo sales won't do. The goal is to compare apples to apples, adjusting for key differences like view, floor, outdoor space, and finishes.",

A realistic valuation will carefully adjust for size, condition, floor, view permanence, and the quality of outdoor spaces. It also considers the building's reputation and any buyer concessions from recent sales. This detailed analysis prevents over or undervaluation.",
