The company is split between financing, real estate tax appeal valuation, estate taxation, conservation easements, special use structures, and other varied miscellaneous assignments. The practice is only concerned with the appraisal of real estate. There are no other divisions such as management, brokerage, consulting, estate planning, etc. The only licenses we carry are for the valuation of real estate. We also, as a general rule, decline valuing single family homes. While in principal we have the knowledge and the software to complete these assignments, this work is mainly referred to a local firm which specializes in this type of property. For the practice, the primary concentration is valuing commercial property.

Real Estate Tax Appeal Valuation

We work with several Real Estate Law Firms to prepare narrative valuation reports for the purpose of Real Estate Tax Appeal throughout Cook County, Illinois and occasionally in other collar counties. Tax savings vary according to many factors including age, condition, and usage of a property. If you think this service may benefit you, the first step is to find a Real Estate Attorney specializing in your property type.

Another type of appraisal service our firm provides is Valuation for the purpose of Financing. This can include Financing a new Real Estate project or purchase or renovations on an existing establishment. We are limited by the regulations and standards of practice as set forth in the USPAP guidelines, and there for must work directly with financial institutions with whom we have been engaged for the purpose of valuation.
