I have been performing discounted cash flow analyses since the 1980’s. In the beginning I used Lotus Notes or Excel, but it was very tedious work. I was relieved when new DCF software became available because it allowed more in-depth modeling. Over the years, DCF software continued to evolve, but the lack of competition was always a concern of mine. That is why I am so excited that our RE Valuation Team is now using Rockport VAL to prepare discounted cash flow analyses, as well as direct capitalization analyses on all property types. This solution is cost-effective, easy to learn, cloud-based and it allows for unlimited sensitivities and scenarios. The training and support offered by Rockport are phenomenal. Our clients are very happy that we are using this software, which is leading to more appraisal opportunities.

Our team has been thoroughly impressed with the Rockport VAL platform, which offers a very user-friendly interface and easy implementation for all levels of users. For more than a year, we have been utilizing VAL for DCF modeling alongside other commercially available options and in-house spreadsheets and we’ve found the software refreshingly intuitive.

One of the standout features of Rockport VAL is its level of technical support. The team at Rockport is accessible and has proven to be dedicated to ensuring a seamless experience with the platform, and they are always available to answer any questions or provide in-depth training.

The VAL Excel Add-In has been very useful in importing key data points into our day-to-day templates and general presentation of cash flows and value outputs is well-designed. Overall, we highly recommend Rockport VAL to any commercial real estate professional in need of a reliable and efficient DCF analysis tool.
