A real estate appraisal expert must remain unbiased when testifying in a real estate matter. Therefore, Commercial Appraisers of Atlanta cannot be an advocate for either side, unless you hire us as a consultant and not as an appraiser. As a consultant, we can consult with you and advise you about the relative strength of an appraisal presented by opposing parties. We can also perform additional real estate research and analysis to support or discredit assumptions or conclusions. If hired as an appraiser, we must remain unbiased and neutral.

At Commercial Appraisers of Atlanta, we believe all our real estate appraisal reports meet or exceed the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

 and generally recognized industry standards, techniques and methodologies. If, however, we are hired to appraise an interest that will eventually go to court, generally additional research is required to search out empirical data and peer-reviewed articles to further support a real estate appraisal valuation opinion. However, it should be understood that because a real estate appraisal opinion is generally regarded in the industry as an art and not a science, appraiser experience and skill level is also extremely important in expert court testimony.
