Real Estate

Real estate disputes require expert witnesses who understand both the technical and market dimensions of property — from valuation methodology and construction standards to zoning regulations and transaction practices. Intellex has been connecting attorneys with credentialed real estate experts since 1984, across both plaintiff and defense matters.

Whether your case involves a property valuation dispute, a construction defect claim, a title or boundary matter, or a complex commercial real estate transaction gone wrong, your Intellex advisor will identify and vet the right expert. If your specific real estate specialty isn’t listed here, we’ll find them.
