EDS’s internationally accredited appraisal experts provide independent appraisal analysis, appraisal review expert witness testimony, appraisal litigation support, and appraisal mediation and arbitration services, to attorneys, courts, and government agencies throughout the world.
We specialize in identifying appraisal fraud and mortgage fraud, appraiser/appraisal challenges, and appraiser misconduct.
Our appraisal experts conduct in-depth analyses and provide objective opinions and advice that help resolve complex appraisal and valuation issues. We advise client counsel in the preparation of appraisal related discovery, Daubert challenges and Rule 702 motions, and appraisal and appraiser regulatory compliance with international Basel II Accords and U.S. state and federal law and the Uniform Standards for Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) requirements.
The newly enacted Pension Protection Act of 2006 rewrites federal regulations defining “qualified appraiser” and “qualified appraisal”. With this, revisions to federal law redefining an “expert witness” place new challenges in advising and handling appraisal expert witness related matters in litigation. EDS’s internationally accredited appraisal experts meet or exceed these new International and U.S. regulations and can help provide you with the winning edge.
