Great dissertation topic!  I love it.  As you might be aware, this is a hot topic lately both in academia and in the field with the increasing use of ArcIMS and now the public mapping APIs such as Google Maps as well.\n\nI teach courses in GIS and real estate and this is definitely the number 1 interest among my students.  Well, perhaps using the GIS for valuations is equally as popular.\n\nThe best way to get started is to visit your friendly university library.  If your university offers PhD degrees, the library should be able to provide you with the info you need.  Two databases that will provide the most hits for you are Ingenta and SpringerLink.\n\nTo help give you a jump-start to your research, here are some publications that I have marked:\n\n+ Architecture for a real estate analysis information system using GIS techniques integrated with fuzzy theory, Pagourtzi, Elli, Journal of Property Investment and Finance, Volume 24, Number 1, 2006, pp. 68-78(11).\n\n+ Optimal spatial decision making using GIS: a prototype of a real estate geographical information system (REGIS), Zeng T. Q, International Journal of Geographical Information Science, Volume 15, Number 4, 1 June 2001, pp. 307-321(15).\n\n+ Towards a 3D cadastre: where do cadastral needs and technical possibilities meet?, Stoter J., Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, Volume 27, Number 4, July 2003, pp. 395-410(16).\n\n+ REALMEDIA: providing multimedia-based real-estate services through the Internet, Cao J., Automation in Construction, Volume 10, Number 2, January 2001, pp. 275-289(15).\n\n+ Real Estate Problem Solving and Geographic Information Systems: A Stage Model of Reasoning, Larry E. Wofford, Journal of Real Estate Literature, Volume 5, Number 2 / July, 1997.\n\n+ The Real Estate Information System: A National Project that Fully Implement GIS in Handling Land Registration Transactions in Qatar - http://gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc99/proceed/papers/pap961/p961.htm\n\n+ As a case study, you might want to check out uMoveFree ( http://www.umovefree.com ).  This company has leveraged GIS and other information systems in the residential rental market.\n\n+ The North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Inc. ( http://www.ntreis.net/ ) provides the MLS and other real estate datasets for my local area.  As a case study, Texas A&M used GIS to generate various maps based on NTREIS data ( http://recenter.tamu.edu/data/gis/NtreisGis.html ).

Read books on the subject at the local Barnes and Nobel. Also, check out this website: www.reiclub.com.\n\nDon't listen to anyone who says it can't be done in this market. In fact, if you find a good deal in San Diego and tie up the property, I'll buy it from you. \n\nRegards

I'm a real estate broker and have found there's no best way. There are many ways and you should use them all. Referrals, farming, canvassing, newspaper FSBO's and Internet free classifieds are the most populars.

Find a Real Estate professional in your area who specializes in commercial properties. They are the best qualified(and know the market) better than anyone in your area! Be sure to give him/her specific details of what you need as well as price ranges! This helps narrow down the process! Good Luck!\n\nP.S. find a real estate online and look up their available commercial properties...this can also give you an idea of pricing and availability!

Contact a local real estate professional in your area. Tell them that you would like a general CMA or Comparable Market Analysis. Let them know that they don't have to come and view your home as you just want to know what similar homes are selling for at this time. Most agents are able to email you an analysis based on general information about your home up front. Just let them know that you will consider them, should you ever wish to place your home on the market. \n\nThey will then send you the analysis via email for FREE. This way you get what you want and they possibly may get a listing in the future if you like the service you received. \n\nI have been in Real Estate for many years and provide this service all the time. Sometimes people just want a general idea for estate purposes, or a possible divorce. I also provide this information to buyers (especially to investors) to help them determine the value of a property prior to making an offer to purchase.

Maybe ask a Real Estate Agent?  Or perhaps someone at the school were the course is taught could provide it.
