Newsletter March 2026

In our January and February 2026 issues, we introduced you to our new MARS (Multi-Attribute Ranked Search) method for identifying the best comparables and walked you through a hypothetical case to illustrate the different outcomes you’d obtain from a traditional manual search versus a traditional search enhanced with the MARS method.

In the final part of our series, we’ll address some of the questions you might have about bringing a new automated tool into your valuation workflow. We’ll clarify what MARS does and doesn’t do, explain how it aligns with sound valuation practice, and identify some ideal scenarios for using MARS — as well as some where the traditional manual method alone may prove preferable.
