Services
• Appraisals – The foundation
of our business revolves around the preparation of Market Value appraisals.
Our appraisals serve many purposes such as forming the basis of a mortgage
lending decision, assisting in buy/sell decisions, providing values
for estate filings, determining whether a real estate tax assessment
is appropriate, establishing a listing price, facilitating the buy out
of partnership interests, among other reasons. Appraisal services are
overseen by an MAI, Member of the Appraisal Institute.
• Valuation Consultation –
Often formal real estate appraisals are unnecessary to meet our client’s
needs. The basic appraisal process may be adapted to solve many types
of value-related problems. Though the scope of the job may be limited,
we still conduct our work in accordance with The Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice {USPAP}.
• Counseling - As a consulting
firm, Eckert & Company, Inc. assists its clients in making real
estate-related decisions by developing strategies and solutions to assist
owners and investors in solving problems, improving current and future
profitability, and increasing value.
• Market Studies – Evaluations
of market strength and performance are increasingly more often relied
upon in the lending and development environments. Market studies, especially
for multi-family housing, are one of the company’s specialties.
All Market Study services are directed by a CRE, a Member of the Counselors
of Real Estate.
• Litigation Support –
Real estate appraisal and expert witness services have been provided
to support litigation of many types in local and federal courts. Our
problem solving and arbitration abilities in addition to our experience
as expert witnesses are often a critical element in the legal process.
• Highest and Best Use Studies
– This principle is the cornerstone of the valuation process.
Our professional research and analysis enables clients to recognize
their property value potential, make sound development plans and/or
formulate reasoned marketing strategies. Our job is to maximize our
client's real estate investment.
