Lee Pallardy, Inc. is a general appraisal and real estate brokerage firm that is the successor operating company of an appraisal/brokerage firm known as Pallardy-Watrous that was incorporated in 1919.

The principals of Lee Pallardy, Inc. have created a diversified real estate appraisal and brokerage firm, with a heavy concentration of work preparing a wide variety of real estate appraisals. The client base is diverse, as represented by the client list included in the resumes and the appraisal experience references. The firm continuously monitors the regulatory environment that affects real estate values and is oftentimes an active participant. The monitoring is to the extent to allow us to be in a position to anticipate changes in the regulatory environment and to predict their effect on real estate values. We make a concerted effort to keep abreast of the trends in the residential and commercial real estate markets, and the case law concerning real estate valuation, particularly as it relates to the valuation of real estate for the purpose of filing estate and gift tax returns and for appraising properties involved in condemnation proceedings.

The primary sources of our appraisal work include individual landowners, municipalities, state and local agencies, financial institutions, condemnation agencies, attorneys representing property owners in condemnation proceedings, and attorneys representing clients in estate planning and other matters. Lee Pallardy, Inc. is an approved appraiser for most lenders.

The company provides unparalleled market research and independent value conclusions. The appraisals provide well documented value estimates. The appraisals are presented in either standardized residential form, or in well written and documented narrative appraisals. Each appraisal is prepared for the individual client and tailored to suit the individual client's needs. The appraisals are written in a clear and convincing manner to lead the reader to the same value conclusion and will withstand the scrutiny of any interested party, including loan underwriters, the legal system, or the IRS.

As a well established appraisal and real estate brokerage firm, with extensive experience in appraising all types of properties, we are very well qualified to provide complete and accurate appraisals no matter the purpose of the appraisal. The appraisal experience serves as a platform for our real estate consulting, brokerage, mortgage, and development services.
