You may be using this valuation to make one of the most important decisions of your life.  Please use care in selecting your valuation firm.  Professional credentials, experience and personal service are of paramount importance.  You’ll only receive a quality valuation from a career professional with extensive background in the field.

A valuation is not just plugging numbers into a canned computer package or some mathematical formula.  If this service is being offered to you for significantly less than the extensive work that must be performed, then it is very likely that you have encountered a non-professional, and chances are, a sub par service.  An inaccurate valuation is worse than no valuation at all.
