C-Store Realty Network is a subsidiary of Professional Property Services, Inc., a Missouri Commercial Real Estate Corporation. Stephan Depenthal, its founder and President, has been in the commercial real estate business for almost 30 years. His commitment to the industry is exemplified by the highly regarded CCIM and CPM designations.

Over the past 30 years Mr. Depenthal has been involved in hundreds of transactions involving office buildings, shopping centers, warehouses, multifamily investments, business brokerage, and special use properties. Mr. Depenthal recognizes that C-stores are a specialty not only because of the environmental issues but also because it is as much about an ongoing business as it is about real estate. That is why the environmental services as well as business valuation specialists have been added to the offering.

Through Midwest Environmental Consultants, the C-Store Realty Network provides a full range of environmental services related to property transactions and underground storage tank (UST) and above ground storage tank (AST) systems. These services — which include Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments, petroleum storage and delivery system inspections, registration of USTs and ASTs with regulatory and state trust fund organizations, preparation of specifications and bidding packages for UST upgrades, removals or replacements, site characterizations, risk assessments, corrective action plans, and petroleum cleanup at impacted sites — are all conducted according to appropriate state, local, and U.S. EPA regulations and guidelines, ensuring the property you buy or sell is fully compliant with established environmental standards, and that you don’t “buy more than you bargained for” with regard to environmental liabilities.

The C-Store Realty Network also offers valuation services through J. Randy Snodgrass, who has more than 40 years of experience in public accountancy to his credit beyond being a certified public accountant, certified financial planner, securities representative, and registered investment advisor. Highly skilled and experienced in specialized valuation techniques, Mr. Snodgrass will provide an objective outlook on the value of the property you’re interested in buying or selling. By determining the highest market value for the business in the shortest amount of time possible, valuation services ensure a property is “priced to sell.”

Some accountants may claim they can recommend selling prices for properties, but don’t be fooled — that price may not be the right price. Few accountants have the industry experience or database of information to pull from in calculating market values as Mr. Snodgrass. From data collection to analysis and appraisal — whether using the book value method, liquidation method, adjustment method, price market approach, or other valuation tactics to assign the right value to your property — Mr. Snodgrass will provide valuation services based on thorough and detailed calculations based on facts and industry standards rather than opinion.
