For more than 20 years, Affiliated Tax Consultants has provided consulting services to clients owning

commercial real estate, residential property, and trust properties.  Our clients include large commercial

real estate asset holders, single to multi-property owners, homeowners, and the trust departments of

large and small banking institutions.

 

Commercial

Examples of the income-producing properties we handle are warehouses, commercial office properties, small business owners and subdivisions under various stages of development. Our staff reviews these properties utilizing three approaches to value. The income from the property is evaluated on the basis of investment return and the associated risks.  We develop income approaches based on each property’s particular criteria.  The cost approach is utilized to determine a replacement cost of the property less all areas of depreciation.  The market approach requires an understanding of the property to compare it with other like properties.

 

Residential

These properties require a detailed analysis of the property to compare with assessing authority records.  We review their appraisals to determine if all specifications regarding the property are correct. If the assessing authorities have used a market approach to estimate the value of the property, we insure the comparable properties are similar to the subject property.

 

Trust

Trust properties require specific attention due to the nature of the trust arrangements. Financial Institutions are usually required to meet all compliance requirements as well as specific tax payment requirements.  As consultants to various trust departments, we pay particular attention to these properties to insure our clients meet all their trust agreement requirements.
