Valuation and Counseling Philosophy

"You cannot sit around and wait."

We are a proactive firm. In order to properly perform an assignment for valuation or counseling services, the most recent sales must be confirmed in each case. This allows the firm to maintain the most current and comprehensive database, accessible to each consultant. The database contains comparable sales, rentals, operating expenses and cost data on common property types such as apartments, office buildings, retail, industrial-warehouses, country clubs, golf courses, nursing homes, ACLFs and other health care properties. A sound database is the foundation for analysis, but primary research, numerous secondary data sources maintained in the firm's library and economic and demographic trends provide the basis for judgment and reasoning leading to a supportable conclusion in real estate analysis.

The comparable sales prices are not the end of the confirmation or analysis. Detailed discussions with market participants such as brokers, investors, bankers and operators of a specific property type are necessary for discerning the buyer's or seller's motivation and facilitating a detailed analysis. While the firm is best known for real estate consulting on single properties at a local level throughout Texas, the depth and experience of the staff also has enabled the firm to complete assignments of major projects and multiple locations involving large and complex issues.

 
Appraisal Services Top of page
The firm may provide specialized appraisal services with detailed analysis or a limited written communication. However, the majority of reports produced are complete appraisals, with all reports conforming to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. In assignments relating to special purpose properties and difficult decisions, a number of alternative issues are explored. In many cases, sensitivity analysis is used to provide a clear insight to the financial implications and the impact on a final value judgment.
 
Counseling Services Top of page
The appraisal process may be carried one step further by exploring strategies to achieve specific client objectives. This generally requires a more detailed market analysis of economic feasibility to measure against projected goals.

Specialized appraisal services relate to the client's individual needs or investment objectives and include arbitration, specialized marketing, financing and feasibility studies as well as analyses, opinions and conclusions given in connection with activities such as real estate counseling and real estate tax counseling or potential damage assessment in litigation matters.
