Allen & Associates

Allen & Associates was formed in 1991 by Laurence G. Allen, MAI, former national director of appraisal and valuation services for BDO Seidman, an international accounting and consulting firm. Headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan we prepare valuation and consulting reports on more than half a billion dollars in real estate assets each year. In all... instances, Allen & Associates uses current valuation and consulting techniques to meet the realities and needs of the ever-changing real estate market. Many of our assignments involve multi-property portfolios and are national in scope. Our experience and knowledge in the application of software packages such as ARGUS, as well as specialty hotel and market analysis software, assure our clients of services responsive to their specific needs. Estimating value, determining market demand and financial feasibility requires a blend of up to date market information, expertise and sound judgment. For this our market analysts hold degrees in finance, engineering, economics and business, and are affiliated with organizations such as the Appraisal Institute, and Chartered Financial Analysts Institute. We have prepared market studies and/or appraisals in more than 25 states but our principal focus is on real estate in the state of Michigan.Read More
