    Our Extensive Experience

    Marten W. Davis, SRPA has extensive experience in serving attorney’s in all aspects of Attorney Support Cases. We provide attorney service including Bankruptcy, Divorce, Estate/Probate, Lawsuits and Expert Testimony. Past Experience in the Bankruptcy Chapter 13 Appraisal Field is crucial in order to serve the client and attorney. “Appraisal Expert Witness” has that experience.

The Appraisal Institute is the largest and most respected Professional Appraisal Organizations of Appraisers in the World. Jill R. Davis, Appraiser also has extensive experience serving Attorney’s in Bankruptcy, Estate, Probate, and Divorce Cases.

    The “Appraisal Expert Witness” Service Pledge:

    We take pride in our pledge to provide quality professional appraisal service that is predicated on the most thorough research and preparation. We realize that the valuation of any real estate is based on finding comparable properties which have physical and locational similarity with the subject. The closer that we can get too similar, the more accurate the appraisal. This we strive to do on EVERY appraisal. Since we can not serve the needs of everyone, we decided that in order to give quality service to our clients, we should limit our practice to very local clientele. We decided to serve clients in only Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties of Florida.

    There are many examples of appraisers who try to serve a regional area. It is not a good practice to serve the public in areas in which you are not highly attuned to specifics of the neighborhoods. How accurate can an appraiser be if coming in from a distant place? Not very…..

    “Appraisal Expert Witness” is limited to residential properties including single family, condominium, land and small multi family dwellings. If you study our company profile, we believe that you will find that we are the best appraisers in our market area. Our clients think so!

    Other Areas of Service:

    One of the primary areas of practice for Marten W. Davis, SRPA is providing Appraisers Expert Testimony in Local Courts, District Courts and Federal Courts. Expert Testimony can be provided for a wide range of legal areas. All appraisals prepared for Attorney Use are prepared with the expectation that we will have to testify as to our findings. Thus, all appraisals are prepared precisely and highly documented. We never want to provide a surprise to out client in court. A poorly documented appraisal is NOT SATISFACTORY!
