We take pride in being independent, avoiding conflicts of interest arising from collateral activities such as accounting, brokerage, construction and development. We typically quote fixed fees or work on hourly rates. We do not accept commissions or contingency fees. Other professional disciplines are comfortable referring clients and sharing information with us; knowing we will not compete with them.

Our size offers the advantage of being able to handle your appraisal, research and counseling needs, no matter how large or small. We staff with experienced professionals so that emergency service is available when you need it.

Although we have the latest hardware, software and proprietary subscription services, we know that expert appraisal/counseling is not a mathematical calculation. We understand and appreciate the Art while taking full advantage of the Science.
