Appraisal consulting provides clients with professional valuation guidance and market-based analysis — without requiring a full formal appraisal report.
At Washington Appraisal, our consulting services help attorneys, investors, corporations, and fiduciaries make informed decisions before acquisitions, disputes, or financial planning.
These assignments are often performed under USPAP Standards 4 & 5, ensuring professional reliability, data accuracy, and independence.
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:
