Bossier City Consultation and Litigation Appraisals

Consultation Services:

In the realm of real estate, questions regarding market valuation and property matters often surface. Property owners, be they sellers or buyers, find themselves seeking guidance on various real estate issues and the best course of action.

Devereux Appraisal Co, LLC extends a unique consultation service tailored to address these inquiries.

I offer a comprehensive analysis of market data, utilizing a blend of MLS and Public Records data.

My goal is to empower you with an understanding of current and past market conditions, specifically within the market area where your property is situated. Think of it as equipping you to be your own appraiser. This service is often more cost-effective than a full appraisal.

While real estate agents can offer similar insights, it’s important to remember that they typically have a vested interest in their opinion, often tied to securing a listing.

What I provide is an impartial perspective as a disinterested third party, offering valuable market data about the area.

This data assists you, whether you’re a property owner or a buyer, in making informed decisions based on real market indicators.

Litigation Services:

If you are a legal professional seeking a reliable appraiser for litigation purposes, please reach out to me, and I can provide you with my CV to determine if it aligns with your needs. In cases where disputes revolve around the potential impact on the value of a residential property due to external factors, legal teams often enlist the services of a professional real estate appraiser. These appraisers evaluate the market value of the property before and after the alleged impact, aiding in a comprehensive analysis.

Before delving into the details of a case, I’ll conduct preliminary inquiries to ensure there are no conflicts of interest. This transparency is essential to maintain the integrity of the appraisal process.

I offer comprehensive appraisal reports, available in written or oral formats, that will meet the requirements of the court and other relevant agencies. When collaborating with law firms, I engage in regular communication with attorneys and their support staff, including paralegals. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of the case from an appraiser’s standpoint. I strictly adhere to the ethical standards outlined in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), guaranteeing confidentiality and professionalism throughout the process.

In addition to providing appraisal services, I offer consultation services to law firms. This guidance clarifies real estate-related aspects of the case, including potential impacts tied to market area pricing and trends.

Effective communication is key, and I am committed to providing timely and pertinent data. In litigation cases, the appraiser’s role extends to conveying both positive and negative issues that could influence the case.

In situations where case dates differ from the appraisal site visit date, prospective or retrospective appraisals may be necessary. I have extensive experience in handling such scenarios, including the importance of maintaining open lines of communication with the retaining counsel.

When you choose to work with Justin Smith, SRA, the founder of Devereux Appraisal Co, LLC, you can rest assured that you’ll receive professional service, quality appraisal reports, and expert consultation. I have successfully worked with local and out-of-area law firms, accountants, title companies, and mediators in Louisiana for litigation matters.
