Attorney Services
We perform a full range of residential and commercial appraisal
services. A major portion of our business being estates and marriage
dissolution appraisals.
With Appraisal Resource Group you can always rely on valuations which
are impartial and prepared with the utmost professional integrity.
Our staff understands the importance of confidentiality in every
aspect of the appraisal process and won’t accept an assignment if any
conflict of interest would arise.
In dissolution cases, our preference is to work for both attorneys as
an impartial third party. This will save their clients significant
cost and time, as compared to having two appraisers with opposing
testimony.
In those cases where opposing testimony is being presented, we work
closely with our clients to make sure our logic is clearly understood
by the courts, whether our testimony is needed or not. We can also
help prepare for cross examination of an opposing expert witness which
often proves invaluable.
We offer appraisal services to meet the needs of our clients on each
appraisal order. In addition to standard full appraisals with interior
and exterior inspections, we can also provide other services, some of
which are described below.
Review Appraisals: This is helpful when you receive an
appraisal from another party or attorney and want to find out if the
value is fair and reliable, or if the value is slanted in a particular
direction. We can often determine in less than an hour if the
appraisal is reliable as the basis for a settlement.
Retrospective Appraisals: Our database of property sales goes
back over 20 years. We can value a home retrospectively which is often
needed in estate or dissolution cases.
Property Damage Valuations: We can value homes after there has
been a flood, fire, landslide, earthquake or if there are mold issues.
Valuations can be done prior to or after the damage, or to help
determine loss in value due to damage.
Drive By Appraisals: Perfect if there is a non-cooperative
spouse or tenant in the home and access cannot be gained, or when
extra discretion is necessary.
Consulting: Feasibility Studies, Highest and Best Use Analysis,
Rental and Lease Surveys, etc. |
