· Appraisal Review Services: An appraisal review serves the purpose of analyzing the content and conclusions of an appraisal report. Clients consider an appraisal review to be a valuable tool in determining the credibility of an appraisal report, in order to reduce the risks associated with important lending, legal, and investment decisions.
· Property Tax Analysis
and Appeal Services: The real property tax liability for property
has a direct impact on its operating/holding expenses, net income, and
associated market value. Therefore, competent representation before government
agencies regarding ad valorem taxes can be critical in keeping this expense
item in check.
