How Alliance Appraisal & Consulting Services, Inc. differs…

We offer a “blended product” of services. The combining of appraisal technique with ad valorem tax and property records accounting is very effective. Replacement cost new, fair market value and property record enhancement can often be addressed within the same timeframe.

Alliance can provide replacement costs for fire insurance purposes, fair market value appraisal and abnormal obsolescence analysis for property tax assessment, and fixed asset property records accounting stewardship.

These services are typically sold on an individual basis by other service providers. Alliance can deliver a single multi-dimensional product in a timely, cost effective manner. We strive to make the complex understandable.

We are committed to be a valued resource. We are part of an established network of highly qualified professionals with membership in at least one of the following professional organizations:

  • Certified Appraisers Guild of America (CAGA)
  • American Society of Appraisers (ASA)
  • Institute for Professional in Taxation (IPT)
  • Association of Machinery and Equipment Appraisers (AMEA)

Alliance will refer assignments when warranted to other highly qualified specialists outside of the Alliance network.  Please consider Alliance a valued resource component in your solution process.
