Three Qualifications to Look For in a Real Estate Expert Witness

8/18/2020

6 Comments

 
Real estate feuds are all too common in the US. They may arise due to poor planning, breach of contract, and often need to be resolved in court. For this, you may need an expert real estate witness.
What are a few things to look out for when hiring an expert witness for your case? Let’s take a look.

Knowledge of the local market

Each neighborhood can have its own set of zoning laws and regulations covering residential and commercial properties. When hiring an expert witness for your case, you need to make sure that they are knowledgeable about the local rules and regulations relevant to your case.

Unless the expert witness has competency in the subject’s market, they will be opening themselves up to criticism or even removed from the case as an expert. For their testimony to be credible, they should be competent in the subject’s market.

Experience in Real Estate

Experience is yet another quality you should look out for. The more experienced an expert witness is, the more credible their testimonywill be. An appraised with years of experience should have a greater knowledge of industry trends and standards. Consequently, they’d be able to present a more credible opinion.

Experience doesn’t only include the number of years an expert witness has under their belt, however. It encompasses the number of years they’ve spent working in a specialized field. In this case, it refers to the experience they have working in real estate. 

Ability to Provide Relevant Documentation & Statistical Support

Finally, a real estate expert witness should be able to back up their conclusions and opinions with a credible report. A qualified expert witness will have no trouble presenting documentation that supports their claims, and may even be able to obtain information that you may not have access to. Their insights and explanations will be based on these documents.

However, experience does not only refer to the number of years an expert witness has under their belt. It includes the number of years they have worked in a specialized field. It refers to their experience working in real estate in this case.

A person with experience in a specific industry is an expert witness. An expert witness's primary responsibility is to deliver an unbiased expert opinion based on the evidence presented. It's critical to understand what an expert witness in real estate in Arkansas can and cannot do for you in court before hiring one. Since a real estate expert witness offers an unbiased assessment of the case, it is expected of them to be unbiased and devoted solely to the court in an attempt to resolve the real estate dispute.
