An appraiser must remain unbiased in performing an appraisal of a property. But we can consult with you and advise you about the relative strength of an appraisal presented by opposing parties. We can also perform additional research and analysis to support or discredit assumptions or conclusions.

Some examples of issues we have experience with include:

• Valuation of "stigmatized" property
• Valuation as of a date in the past
• Valuation for condemnation and eminent domain cases
• Effect on value of properties with history of flood
• Estate settlement
• Effect on value caused by insect infestation
• Valuation for divorce, partnership, taxation issues etc.
