Our office is equipped with a state-of-the-art PC network, laser printers, digital color copier/scanner, current software packages and extensive databases which support our research & appraisal development efforts.  We subscribe to many different data sources, e.g. Jacqueline Haines Associates data service which reports all commercial, industrial, office, and multi-family sales in Franklin County Ohio on a monthly basis.  Most importantly, we have developed proprietary comparable sale databases for commercial, industrial and headquarters buildings which form the core of our knowledge-base.  These databases have been compiled over more than 38 years of appraisal assignments and are continually being refined and updated.  We work with brokers and appraisers nationwide to ensure accurate and timely update of listings and sale data. </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
