Real Estate Expert Witness Services

In Court is when an expert witness is needed.

For most businesses, real estate is a huge part of day-to-day operations. And when it comes time to sell the business, the building is usually a key part of the deal. But if there’s a dispute over the property that goes to court, you’ll need to hire a real estate expert witness to settle it.

And if you find yourself in that position, you’ll want to work with someone who not only understands how to review and audit the business’s books; you’ll want to work with someone who knows real estate. And if they have an understanding of the local market, that’s even better.

In more than 40 years in business sales, Willard Michlin has gained invaluable insight into how a business’s property affects its bottom line. And when Willard works as a property expert witness, he looks at property from the perspective of not only a Certified Business Broker, (CBB), but also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE).

  • Smog shops
  • Coin laundromats
  • Auto shops
  • Dry cleaning stores
  • Gas stations

For any business, the property, which may include land, buildings and even stationary equipment and materials, is often one of — if not the — most valuable asset of the business. That’s why it’s so important you consider hiring an expert witness specializing in real estate to help with disputes you’re facing when you’re buying or selling a business.
