REAL ESTATE DAMAGES

Real estate damage economics involves environmental contamination, construction and title defects, soils issues, natural disasters and so forth. These damages total over $50 billion annually.  Additionally, many frivolous legal claims overstate the damages. We utilize advanced methodologies to determine what impact, if any, detrimental conditions have on value. Our clients include government, oil, insurance, utilities, corporations, developers, lenders and property owners.
 

REAL ESTATE DAMAGES - THE BOOK

Real Estate Damages:
Applied Economics and Detrimental Conditions

Randall Bell, PhD, MAI with contributing authors Michael V. Sanders, MAI, SRA and Orell Anderson, MAI

Most real estate economists and appraisers will be asked to value property subject to detrimental conditions at some point in their careers. The unique problems that arise in these complex valuation situations can be addressed by applying fundamental economic principles and innovative valuation techniques. A comprehensive and valuable resource for all real estate professionals, Real Estate Damages: Applied Economics and Detrimental Conditions, second edition, provides a straightforward approach to solving these complex valuation problems.
