Independent Valuation Insight for Complex Decisions

Appraisal consulting provides clients with professional valuation guidance and market-based analysis — without requiring a full formal appraisal report.

These assignments are often performed under USPAP Standards 4 & 5, ensuring professional reliability, data accuracy, and independence.

What Is Appraisal Consulting?

Unlike a traditional appraisal that results in a formal opinion of value, appraisal consulting focuses on analysis, guidance, or expert interpretation of valuation-related questions.

Examples include:

  • Reviewing or interpreting a third-party appraisal
  • Evaluating the credibility of a valuation used in court or by lenders
  • Analyzing property value trends or feasibility before development
  • Advising attorneys or accountants on market evidence for a legal case
  • Helping fiduciaries determine whether a full appraisal is necessary
