We strongly recommend to our clients that they engage valuation experts as early as possible in the dispute resolution process. We are convinced the great number of lengthy and costly disputes could be avoided or could be resolved more quickly, if the parties involved were in possession of proper valuation services earlier in the process. Unfortunately, all too often, parties in dispute are under the mistaken impression that because of the cost, valuation services should not be obtained until late into the process. There are, in fact, numerous consulting services available to the parties involved in the dispute that are both appropriate for use early in the dispute and are relatively inexpensive.

Uncommon Asset Types Almost all appraisals are of general commercial real estate or homes, for financing purposes, and for bank clients.  As a result, almost all appraisers are trained to do only this one group of assets for this one purpose and one type of client. If you are a different type of client, have any other type of property or business, or have some other purpose for your appraisal, then you need a specialist appraiser.  Federal Appraisal specializes in such non-traditional appraisals, for unusual purpose, of the uncommon and rare property and asset types.
