Engagement Types

Ten reasons clients engage Imperial Realty Appraisal

From financing to eminent domain, every assignment is led by a credentialed senior appraiser and supported by thorough analysis, market data, and independent judgment.

Financing & Lending

Bank loans, refinancing, and acquisition underwriting for institutional and community lenders.

Lender-driven valuations prepared in conformity with USPAP and major lender requirements. We work routinely with community banks, regional lenders, and credit unions across Eastern PA.

Defensible valuations for estate planning, gifting, and date-of-death tax filings.

Estate-quality reports with the documentation accountants and attorneys need to support the value position with the IRS and state revenue authorities.

Independent value opinions to support assessment appeals, including expert testimony.

We have provided expert testimony before the Northampton and Lehigh County Assessment Hearing Boards and the County Court of Common Pleas.

Divorce Valuations

Discreet, court-ready valuations for marital property division and equitable distribution.

Strict confidentiality, neutral methodology, and clear narrative reports that hold up under cross examination.

Lease renewal, rent review, and submarket rent benchmarking for owners and tenants.

Quantitative submarket rent analysis backed by 25+ years of Lehigh Valley lease comparables and active broker relationships.

Impartial valuations to support partner buyouts, sellouts, and ownership transitions.

Independent, neutral value opinions to support clean transitions, often paired with counsel-led negotiations.

Buy / Sell Decisions

Pre-transaction value opinions to inform acquisition and disposition decisions.

Quick-turn pre-listing or pre-offer valuations so you understand the value position before signing.
