Why a continuous valuation experience matters
As the table above shows, we perform valuations continuously — not occasionally, as many do — across a wide range of purposes and industries. Experience is a key determinant of what qualifies a Valuator. Treasury Regulation §1.170A‑17(b)(1) defines a qualified appraiser as an individual “with verifiable education and experience”.
