About Us

The idea for R.E.S. Services began in 1996 after the founder acquired their first investment property.  R.E.S. Services was officially established in 1998 offering appraisal and appraisal-related services to residential and commercial clients and technology solutions for the real estate industry. In 2000, the founder leveraged their advanced degree in Information Technology to form a partnership with a notable Denver real estate appraisal and consulting firm and a local start-up company pioneering mobile technology applications for the property management industry.
As demand for complex appraisal assignments grew in Colorado during the -2000s, R.E.S. Services appraised a wide range of challenging commercial properties. These assignments included investment underwriting, purchase and disposition analysis, litigation support, and eminent domain acquisition. The experience appraising large-scale mixed-use developments throughout the state fostered an appreciation for balancing development needs with Colorado's scenic and natural environment, a perspective which inspired further expansion into conservation easement appraisal.

Today, R.E.S. Services works primarily with property owners and their advisors, focusing on restricted use appraisal reports, eminent domain appraisal and litigation support appraisal in Colorado.  Property types appraised typically include office, retail, industrial and special use properties, as well as partial interest appraisal, easement appraisal, right of way appraisal for full and partial takings, eminent domain and other litigation support appraisal.  R.E.S. Services only appraises residential property affected by eminent domain takings and/or involved in litigation, dispute resolutions or other property rights matters. 

Below is a summary of R.E.S Services' appraisal qualifications and experience.
