description Despite the ever-growing complexity of appraisals, the number of firms needed for due diligence work is shrinking rather than rising. Appraisal and due diligence work in the leasing industry was once concentrated among 3 firms: Deloitte & Touche, American Appraisal Associates, and Marshall & Stevens. Although they have not expanded, appraisers have certainly adjusted their strategy in reaction to the other products on offer. New consultants are still being brought in to support deals. For external consultants, one successful transaction has tended to lead to another, as equity counsel demands the same level of comfort in subsequent deals. The service contract market is very large, and it is certainly possible to win a small piece of this. Demand for due diligence services is not restricted to the service contract opinion.
