The status quo in the Real Estate Appraisal profession is to look to the past to derive current values.  Properly weighting the metrics that influence the value of any given property is required for a sound appraisal report. 

An effective Real Estate Valuation Consultant must also accurately interpret forward-looking trends that influence any given property, including local, regional, macro-economic, and geo-political trends.   Effective management requires the proper information to make forward-looking decisions. 

The current level of uncertainty is higher than any time in recent history which is characterized by a wider range of possible outcomes.  This makes it more difficult to make the right decisions for your organization. 

  An effective risk manager will boil down the possibilities to isolate the probable outcomes.  Unfortunately, given the volatility of the overall economy and government policy direction, the range of possibilities are greater than in past years.  This situation inevitably increases uncertainty and risk which highlights the need for heightened analysis of the metrics that influence the possible and probable outcomes for a given enterprise. 

The combination of Kenji’s experience and a lifetime of critical thinking is the right combination to provide valuable input toward solutions and a prudent course of action.
