Our Services . . .
We Specialize in Litigation Valuation
While we provide appraisals for virtually all of the most common reasons appraisals are
needed, we also specialize in the most demanding area in the appraisal industry; litigation
valuation and expert testimony.
We have decades of experience preparing defensible appraisals and reports, as well
as providing competent expert testimony in various federal, state and local jurisdictions.
And, in addition to providing appraisals and reports, we will also make critical analyses
of your adversary's appraisal reports, commonly called appraisal reviews. Our on-point critical
insights provide valuable information in preparation of effective cross-examination of your
adversary's valuation expert; an invaluable asset in every litigation.
Our litigation expertise includes property tax appeals, eminent domain, condemnation
(either physical or inverse / regulatory), bankruptcy, foreclosure, forced liquidation, divorce,
corporate dissolution, partnership / stockholder disputes, contractual disputes, and the like.
So, no matter why you may need an appraisal, and no matter how complex your problem
or your property, you'll find the expertise at Global Valuations second to none.
› MINES & QUARRIES

Market Value of the Whole Entity: This analysis estimates the value of the whole business entity, including value contributions from the mineral reserves in-place, the machinery & equipment in-place, all rolling stock, unsold inventory, and any value from additional lands outside of the permitted mining area. This value also considers the intangible value contributions from the management team.

The results of this analysis is generally used to obtain an indication of the whole entity and the synergistic benefit from all of the individual components acting as a single economic unit. This type of appraisal is commonly used to obtain financing, consideration of sale / purchase decisions, as well as stockholder valuation interests, just name a few.

TAKE NOTE: As a result of the combination of real and personal property, the real property definition of Market Value is applied to the real estate, with the personal property definition of Market Value In-Place being applied to the non-rolling stock, while the personal property definition of Market Value (Fair Market Value) is applied to the rolling stock.

Market Value of the Mineral Reserves (Value of the Land): This considers the value of the mineral reserves in-place and indicates the value of the land as if being used as a mineral extraction property.

The results of this analysis has several uses, including 1) determining the economic feasibility of developing a property for mineral extraction when compared to the land's value under other reasonably probable alternative uses, 2) determining the economic benefit to the land owner under a royalty lease agreement, or 3) determining the contributing value of the mineral reserve to the value of the whole entity when seeking to isolate the value of the business going-concern. This method is also beneficial for purposes of property tax assessment appeals where the assessment is based upon the value of the real estate.
 
Value the Processing Plants, Asphalt Plants, Redi-Mix Plant, and the Machinery & Equipment: We can separately appraise the various values of the any of the individual components on, or associated with your mining operation. Appraising these components are useful when either selling or leasing them to another entity, seeking the contributing value in-place, or a liquidation value (orderly or forced) in the dissolution of a particular site or entire company.

› MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT:

At Global Valuations, we recognize there are a variety of needs for which an appraisal is either desired or required in connection with machinery & equipment. In dealing with these myriad circumstances, we have tried to address all of those circumstances by listing the various definitions of value, as defined by the American Society of Appraisers, covering the spectrum of circumstances.

However, if, after considering these definitions you still have questions about your particular circumstance, please contact us by calling or by e-mail, and we'll be happy to address your particular need.
Fair Market Value is the estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may be reasonably expected for a property in an exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts, as of a specific date.

  Orderly Liquidation Value is the estimated gross amount expressed in terms of money, that could be typically realized from a liquidation sale, given a reasonable period of time to find a purchaser(s) with the seller being compelled to sell on an as-is, where-is basis as of a specific date.
Forced Liquidation Value is the estimated gross amount expressed in terms of money that could be typically realized from a properly advertised and conducted public auction, with the seller being compelled to sell with a sense of immediacy on an as-is, where-is basis, as of a specific date.

A highest and best use analysis will provide you with that answer, and show you exactly the difference in the economic benefit of each.

Lease Analysis: How much should you charge for rent? What quality of tenant should you reasonably anticipate will lease the property? How long will it take to get the tenant? And, how much should you expect to spend for tenant-related construction costs? Our lease analysis can save you valuable time, and money.

A day of lost rent is lost forever. Don't waste your time listening to people whom may have hidden reasons for giving you free advise. REMEMBER, advice is usually worth exactly what you pay for it.
