Services
We are here to help you make confident decisions with clear, reliable property appraisals and consulting. Whether it is agricultural or commercial property appraisals, assisting with pretrial consulting or something in between, you can count on us to give it the time and attention it deserves.
Real Estate Appraisal
We will evaluate the value of real estate, then put it into a report that can be used for many different purposes.
Legal Issues & Expert Court Testimony
We provide credible and defensible appraisals and expert testimony for legal proceedings. Our professionals have extensive experience collaborating with attorneys and the court system to support cases involving property disputes, tax appeals, eminent domain, divorce, partition, or other legal matters. We also go deeper than the standard appraisal assignment by evaluating forensic evidence to develop a more comprehensive story of the assignment.
Real Estate Consulting
Our consulting services help clients make informed decisions about real estate investments, developments, or transactions. From market analysis to project planning, we provide tailored advice to achieve your goals effectively and efficiently.
Additional Services
Probate
Often property is transferred via will or revocable trust. To get a stepped-up basis and to lessen the potential capital gains taxes, we will provide a value as of the date of death which satisfies the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.
Tax Appeals
We specialize in preparing robust, evidence-based reports to challenge excessive property tax assessments. Our expertise can help reduce your tax burden by securing a favorable outcome during appeals.
