Core Specialties

In addition to providing narrative appraisal reports on a wide range of properties. Our core specialties are further defined as follows:

Restricted Appraisal Report

A streamlined real estate or asset valuation document defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) that states the appraiser's final value conclusions with minimal narrative description, explanation, or supporting rationale.

Full Narrative Report

The most comprehensive and detailed report type, containing all the data, background information, and reasoning used by the appraiser so the reader does not need any outside resources to understand the conclusion.

Appraisal Review

The formal act or process in which a qualified, independent appraiser evaluates the work of another appraiser to judge its quality, accuracy, and compliance with professional standards (such as USPAP Standards).

Forensic Analysis

The application of quantitative methods, techniques, and tools to examine physical or digital evidence to uncover objective facts for use in negotiations, legal proceedings, or civil disputes.

Partial Interest Valuation

In real estate appraisal, determining the value of a partial interest requires more than simply applying the ownership percentage to the value of the whole property. The key issue is identifying what rights are actually owned and how those rights affect marketability and control.

Project Feasibility and Due Diligence

A structured, evidence based assessment that evaluates whether a proposed project is practical, affordable, and worth pursuing before major resources are committed. A third party analysis can help prevent costly mistakes by testing assumptions and making an objective recommendation early in the planning phase.

Highest and Best Use Analysis

A foundational real estate evaluation method that determines the single, most profitable, and optimal use for a property. It looks beyond what a property is currently used for and identifies what use generates the highest present value.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Refers to any method of settling legal disagreements outside of the traditional public court system. Instead of going through costly, lengthy, and public courtroom litigation, parties use private procedures—such as negotiation, mediation, or arbitration—to resolve conflicts.

Property Specific Research

Involves gathering factual data about a specific real estate parcel, its ownership, physical traits, and market standing before making an offer, investing, or appraising

Rental Studies

A detailed evaluation that determines the prevailing open-market rental rates for properties with similar size, type, age, and location.

Affordable Housing

We provide valuation and consulting services for affordable housing assets, including Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties, Section 8 and HUD-insured properties, age-restricted communities, and other subsidized and regulated housing programs. Our services include market studies, financial and feasibility analyses, rent comparability studies, and valuation of the underlying real estate and associated affordability restrictions.

Partial Interest Valuation

In real estate appraisal, determining the value of a partial interest requires more than simply applying the ownership percentage to the value of the whole property. The key issue is identifying what rights are actually owned and how those rights affect marketability and control.

Identifying the key components provides the foundation of partial interest valuation problems. For a typical undivided fractional interest the analysis can be summarized as follows:

Pro Rata Ownership Share
Adjust for rights and restrictions
Consider control characteristics
Consider marketability
Arriviste at value of Partial Interest
