Real estate litigation comes down to the credibility of one appraiser versus another. 

 

The difference between “winning” and “losing” is in the preparation. At Sterling DiSanto and Associates, we pride ourselves on the meticulous preparation we bring to every litigation case in which we are involved. We have worked with the best attorneys in this field and use our many years of expert witness and review appraiser experience to develop and implement successful strategies that will guide you through the most complex litigation to achieve the best possible outcome.

​

Here’s What We Can Do:
 

• Review of opposition’s appraisal for weaknesses, improper application of valuation techniques, mathematical errors, errors in judgment, factual errors.

• Preparation of an analysis in order to evaluate the case and provide scenarios for likely outcomes.

• Recommend other professionals to be part of the litigation team, if needed, such as a planner, architect, engineer, environmental expert.

• Determine which valuation approaches are most applicable and what other types of studies may be needed to support the case.

• Participate in settlement strategies and negotiations.

• Define reasonable outcomes of settlement negotiations and developing scenarios and strategies to achieve those outcomes.

• Preparation of a thorough, credible, unbiased, “trial ready” report.

• Preparation for testimony including preparation of exhibits, reports, rehearsal of testimony.

• Assist your attorney in preparing cross examination of the opposition’s appraiser.
