Estimated Market Value Range
"This is a rough estimate. We deliver the exact number that holds up in court."
$1.15M
Certified value accepted by all parties
The Situation
Three siblings. One property. Two attorneys and a $340,000 disagreement.
A probate court had been stalled for eleven months. The deceased had left a four-bedroom Colonial in Westchester to three adult children who couldn't agree on its value. One wanted to sell immediately. Two wanted to buy out the third. Their own estimates ranged from $890,000 to $1,230,000 — a spread wide enough to fund another year of litigation.
The Appraisal Changed Everything
One certified appraisal. Settlement in 19 days.
Our site inspection identified three unreported upgrades and a zoning change that had materially affected the comp set. The certified opinion of value — $1,147,000 — was accepted by all three parties and both legal teams without challenge. The estate closed 19 days after the report was delivered.
+$292K
Recaptured value vs. lender's assessment
The Situation
The bank's appraiser valued the property at $620,000. The loan was denied.
A commercial property owner in downtown Nashville had applied to refinance a mixed-use building that had been substantially renovated over 18 months. The lender's in-house appraisal — conducted remotely, without a site visit — came in $280,000 below the owner's expectation, triggering an automatic denial on a $1.9M loan application.
The Appraisal Changed Everything
A second opinion that changed the underwriting outcome.
Our physical inspection documented $190,000 in unreported capital improvements. A corrected comparable sales analysis, using actual arm's-length transactions within 0.4 miles, produced a certified value of $912,000. The lender accepted the independent report. The loan closed at the original terms within 60 days.
$34,800
Annual tax reduction secured
The Situation
The county assessed the property at $1.4M. The actual market said otherwise.
A homeowner in Cook County received a reassessment notice that raised their annual property tax bill by $41,200. The county had applied a blanket neighborhood multiplier without accounting for the property's deferred maintenance, irregular lot shape, or a foundation repair that had been disclosed in the most recent sale. The appeal deadline was 47 days out.
The Appraisal Changed Everything
Documented evidence, submitted before the deadline.
We produced a USPAP-compliant appraisal establishing a market value of $1,098,000 — 21% below the county's figure. The appeal board accepted the report without requiring expert testimony. The corrected assessment reduced the annual tax burden by $34,800, effective the following fiscal year.
$2.1M
Arbitration award grounded in certified analysis
The Situation
A $7.4M commercial lease dispute. Both sides needed a number that would survive cross-examination.
A national retail tenant was contesting a co-tenancy clause that triggered a rent reduction when an anchor store vacated. The landlord disputed the clause's applicability and the magnitude of the value impact. Both parties had retained counsel. The case was headed to arbitration, and each side needed a certified appraiser prepared to defend their methodology under oath.
The Appraisal Changed Everything
Expert testimony. Arbitration resolved in 14 hours.
Our report addressed market rent, vacancy impact, co-tenancy precedent, and the specific lease language. We testified for four hours. The arbitrator cited our comparable lease analysis as the basis for the final award — a $2.1M settlement that reflected the actual market impact of the anchor vacancy, not either party's opening position.
