Valuation Consulting Services
Who We Are
Advisory Support for Valuation Questions and Strategy
Not every real estate appraisal issue requires an appraisal report. In many cases, stakeholders benefit from expert real estate valuation guidance before deciding how to proceed. Schneider Valuation Consultants, Inc. offers independent consulting services to help clients interpret valuation issues, evaluate alternatives, and develop informed strategies as it relates to appraisal matters.
We assist with matters where property value is in question, but the immediate need is for clarity and not specific value conclusions. SVC’s role is to offer context, outline potential valuation outcomes, and help guide the decision make process as it relates to matters involving property valuations.
Focus Area
Valuation consulting assignments are tailored to support decision-making, litigation strategy, and review. These are typically limited-scope engagements that may include:
- Consulting on best practices, proper appraisal methodology, and recognized valuation techniques
- Evaluating lease language or contract terms and how it would influence property value
- Clarifying how market rent or land value would likely be determined in future disputes
- Advising on potential valuation approaches based on the property’s highest and best use, property rights, or applicable laws and regulations
- Assisting with the preparation of questions or topics for expert witness examination
- Advising on issues that directly or indirectly affects real estate value
These services are especially useful in the early stages of a matter, or when a second opinion is needed before proceeding further.
Each appraisal is prepared in accordance with professional appraisal standards, applicable regulations, and relevant code and case law.

Valuation Considerations
Our consulting approach is flexible, efficient, and designed to match the scope and timing of the matter at hand.
Defined Objectives
Each engagement begins with a clear understanding of the client’s goals, whether strategic, advisory, or exploratory in nature.
Format of Deliverables
Findings may be provided in memo format, summary notes, or verbal briefings.
Clear Communication
The goal of valuation consulting is to advise on issues that impact value, including providing an understanding of the appraisal process and how it is impacted by various assignment conditions, including laws and regulations. It does not include a formal opinion of value unless separately requested.
Path Forward
Many consulting clients can later request a full appraisal, expert review, or testimony services, but consulting is available as a standalone service when clarity is needed up front.
Real estate valuation can be complex, but SVC can provide consulting to help a party understand the issues related to property value in a manner that is easy to understand and helps solve disputed real estate problems.
