Reviews
Our team of advisors provides appraisal reviews for determining whether the given appraisal methods are appropriate, whether appraisal reports conform to applicable standards, and whether the analysis is reasonably supported by the data presented.
We perform both in-office desk reviews and on-site field reviews to determine whether the report contains accurate information of the property being reviewed. We also determine if the review has missing information or lacks necessary appraisal reasoning and logic.
