Appraisals

Goldman Associates was founded with an emphasis on appraisal services. For forty years Jay Goldman has been active in the West Virginia Appraisal Market developing a comprehensive database to assure accurate, market-based valuations and provide quality service to clients. Through the negotiation and valuation processes there is a good flow of data from the sales and leasing brokerage aspect for Goldman Associates to the appraisal/consulting area.

Goldman Associates is proud of a diverse roster of appraisal clients which has been developed and includes banks and lending institutions, attorneys, government entities, and corporate clients. Special emphasis has been placed on litigation support services to help law firms defend and prosecute claims as well as to provide guidance in related areas.

The appraisals which Goldman Associates has performed are throughout the State of West Virginia. They include specific emphasis on the Advantage Valley which is a corridor extending from Huntington through Charleston.

Consulting services are provided to many clients who do not need specific valuation but rather need to define potential changes in marketing to meet their immediate goals. This may include highest and best use studies, feasible studies, comparison of available properties, or “what if” situations.
