Automotive

Our Automotive Practice is comprised of approximately 50 appraisal professionals located throughout North America with specialized training and experience in the valuation of automobile dealerships. Major clients include GMAC LLC (Ally Bank), General Motors Company, Ford Motor Credit Company, Volkswagen Credit, Inc., Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation and Mercedes-Benz Financial, as well as numerous financial institutions throughout the United States and Canada.

The Group distinguishes itself by its commitment to superior client service, which is achieved by the following:

The use of a uniform format on a nationwide basis
Maintaining a dealership valuation staff large enough to allow for efficient geographic coverage across North America, yet small enough to ensure that each professional has substantial automobile dealership appraisal experience
Maintaining an industry-leading database of automobile dealerships sales (including those sold for both continued use and alternative uses)
Offering our clients the option of dealing with a single point of contact, to efficiently distribute property information, ensure consistent methodology, and review the work product prior to report delivery
Maintaining a web-based portal to house final appraisal reports
Access to national automobile sales tracking publications and services, to identify major trends impacting the automobile dealership market.
Superior market knowledge developed through transaction tracking software, as well as periodic surveys of industry leaders.
