Opinion of Value
A written, defensible value range for your Clay County station or store, built from your actual gallons and inside sales.

Clay County County • North Florida
A gas station business valuation across Clay County, Florida separates two values: the real estate, priced on corridor quality and cap rate, and the operating business, priced on fuel gross profit plus inside-sales gross profit less operating expense. Environmental status and fuel supply terms adjust both. Led by Bobby Berrido, CCIM, CMAA. All transactions are brokered through Fausto Commercial.

(305) 518-1545Owners across Clay County, Florida usually ask a single question — what is my station worth? The answer is two numbers, not one, because the dirt and the business are bought by different buyers using different math.
Clay County valuations reflect local conditions: affluent residential, commuter, and residential, corridor position on US-17 and County Rd 220, and I-295 (Buckman) access.
A valuation prepared before a listing also protects the seller. It sets a defensible ask, anticipates lender and buyer objections, and prevents a retrade three weeks into diligence.

What We Broker
A written, defensible value range for your Clay County station or store, built from your actual gallons and inside sales.
We split the two so you can evaluate a sale of the property, the business, or both together.
Remaining term, gallon commitments, and unamortized image loans change value materially before a buyer ever tours the site.
UST age, tank testing, and FDEP discharge history are priced into value rather than discovered late in diligence.
Inside-sales gross profit by department, permit status, and occupancy terms for c-stores with or without fuel.
Confidential seller representation across Clay County, Florida, from pricing through closing.
Clay County demand is resident-driven and therefore steady week to week, with peaks in the morning and evening commute on US-17 and County Rd 220. Steady demand supports financing, but it also means growth comes from capture rate and store execution rather than from new traffic.
In resident markets, the competitive question is what could be built nearby. We check zoning, available pads, and permitted competing fuel or wash uses inside the trade area before pricing, because a new build a half mile away resets throughput in a 39,473-resident market faster than any pricing strategy can recover.
A defensible Clay County valuation separates real estate, fuel, and store. In a small-market market driven by affluent residential, commuter, and residential, the fuel component is set by verified gallons on US-17 and a sustainable margin for the brand and supply contract — not by the best month in the last three years.
Adjustments follow: supply agreement term and image loan balance, tank age and FDEP compliance history, environmental case status, corridor access on County Rd 220, deferred maintenance at bid cost, and unverifiable cash income excluded rather than discounted.
Every Clay County opinion of value is then tested three ways — debt service coverage at realistic acquisition terms, price per gallon against comparable fuel-site sales, and how much of the price the real estate alone supports if the business underperforms.
Clay County, with about 39,473 residents, is a small-market Florida market. Activity concentrates on US-17 and County Rd 220, with regional throughput on I-295 (Buckman), US-17, and I-295 (via Buckman). County averages hide wide spreads — core corridors and outlying trade areas clear at very different multiples.
Pricing across Clay County is decided by who is bidding. Operators pay for throughput and store profit, jobbers pay for future gallons through their rack, net-lease and 1031 buyers pay for durable rent, and developers pay for the land. Running a targeted process against all four is how a seller finds the top of the range instead of the first number offered.
Every Clay County engagement stays confidential — blind teaser first, NDA-gated package second, and no public listing unless the owner asks for one. All transactions are brokered through Fausto Commercial.
Valuation
The real estate component is capitalized from market rent for a fuel-use property on a US-17 corner. The business component is built from trailing fuel gallons at a normalized cents-per-gallon, plus inside-sales gross profit by department, less realistic operating expense including a market-rate manager.
Four adjustments move the number most: remaining fuel supply agreement term and any unamortized image loan, UST age and FDEP discharge history, lease term and renewal options if the site is leased, and how verifiable the reported inside sales actually are.
Owner-reported cash sales that cannot be tied to POS records, deposits, and tax returns do not get credit from a buyer or a lender — which is the most common reason an asking price and an offer never meet across Clay County, Florida.
