OUR WORK PLAN, A TECHNICAL / FORENSIC APPROACH

We believe the prerequisites of a successful real estate appraisal, consulting, and valuation firm are diversity, an extensive background, and specialized knowledge that when utilized appropriately are the catalysts for complex problem solving. Accordingly we have developed a methodology and study approach which exploits the most recent developments in computer technology for both data analysis and information management. In addition to the commercially available software, utilized by our firm, such as Word Perfect, MicroSoft Office, Generic CADD, FloorPlan, and Plan Ease we have designed analytical software using Lotus 1-2-3, Fortran IV, and even Basic-A. Our proprietary software was designed to prepare market data analysis, building load and function analysis (based upon key design ratios), standard and discounted cash flow analysis, sales comparison analysis, multiple regression analysis, lease vs. buy analysis, and a complete development-investment-and-financial analysis au fait participating mortgages and equity structures providing simple, cumulative, and compound preferences.

In the areas of land use (highest and best use), economics, market analysis, and planning our endeavors have resulted in the production of several computer models that are capable of measuring the benefits and disadvantages of planned and sporadic growth patterns. Aided by tools such as export base multipliers, location quotients, input/output analysis, and aerial photography we have successfully tracked and identified, economic and social factors, which have lead to regional prosperity or blight.

We are aware that some jurisdictions may have laws, administrative rules, regulations, or ordinances that stipulate requirements in the valuation of real estate within their jurisdictions. We are then bound to utilize these requirements and comply with USPAP under the Jurisdictional Exception Rule.
