Real Estate Appraisals
Rikrland Valuation Services has the most qualified real estate appraisers in Alaska. Our appraisal team can appraise any and all real property in Alaska. All property types, anywhere. We can perform simple appraisals of small residential vacant lots, and we can appraise commercial properties that are highly complex. We can appraise every property type in between. We’ve appraised pre-fab, concrete 30,000 SF, multi-story proposed office buildings in remote, fly-in only communities. We’ve also appraised vacant residential lots to assist neighbors in settling encroachment disputes. We can assist in ANY real property appraisal situation.
Market Studies
Rikrland Valuation Services provides practical, real-world market studies for commercial real estate across Alaska using real Alaskan data, not guesstimates from unrelated markets. Simple or complex, big or small, urban or remote. We can assist with market rent checks for various lease situations. We’re also experienced in conducting in-depth feasibility studies for large-scale developments or investment decisions. We’ve analyzed proposed office and industrial projects in remote fly-in communities, and we’ve helped owners and businesses understand rental trends and market conditions for lease negotiations or partnership discussions. We can help with just about any real estate-related market study need in Alaska.
Appraisal Reviews
We provide independent appraisal reviews and second opinions across Alaska, led by Lydia Larson, one of the few AI-GRS-designated appraisers in the country and likely the only active one in Alaska. Our reviews verify accuracy, completeness, USPAP compliance, and reasonableness of original reports. From desk reviews for lenders to field reviews and litigation rebuttals for attorneys, we deliver defensible, reliable results based on real expertise.
Consulting & Expert Witness Services
Many real estate questions don’t require a full appraisal — sometimes a knowledgeable conversation or independent opinion is all you need. We offer paid consulting and expert witness services to help owners, investors, attorneys, lenders, and businesses navigate decisions or disputes. Whether it’s a quick discussion about market conditions, a second opinion on an appraisal, help interpreting data, or formal expert testimony in court, we provide practical, reliable guidance based on real Alaskan experience and extensive real estate-specific education. We charge fairly for our time and expertise, so you get focused, professional input when it matters.
