The highest professional standards are followed for all assignments. Whether it concerns straightforward, or multi-layered valuations, our collective expertise, the confidential nature of the work provided and myriad years of experience over an expansive range of projects, are assurance that ARAI clients will receive a superlative level of service.
Frances Zeman, M.A., FASA, President of ARAI, who, herself, oversees every appraisal produced by the firm, has been repeatedly recognized for her wealth of contributions to professional education, and to the appraisal profession and beyond.
Whether you are looking to obtain an appraisal or seeking broader-based valuation services, our aim is to always prioritize serving you as a client.
An appraisal is a document as important as a will and how it is used can affect the success of your outcome. To effectively meet your needs, several questions are necessary to appropriately assess: what you intend to do, what types of property you own, your goals, and required time frame.
