trusted & Certified REAL ESTATE APPRAISalS IN MANHATTAN, NY

As Certified Fiduciaries of the Office of Court Administration (OCAS) and regularly appointed NYS Supreme Court Part 36 Fiduciaries, our reports are trusted in litigation, accepted by major banks, and built to hold up under intense scrutiny.

 

Whether you're settling an estate, preparing for litigation, or refinancing a high-value property from Park Avenue condos to downtown commercial lofts, we provide fast, defensible valuations that perform under pressure.
