Expert Witness

For more than 60 years, The Foster Company has been involved in real estate valuation and consulting work for litigation and other actions requiring an expert witness. Our experience in all aspects of the real estate business since 1925 led to early involvement in eminent domain. We have built on that foundation with an expert staff and litigation support services that are second to none.

When preparing a case for court or other arenas where real estate interests are contested, we apply the greatest skill, care, and focus to ensure the highest level of performance. Our background in brokerage, development, management, finance, and insurance give us the hands-on experience that creates convincing testimony. Our cases are presented with the confidence that comes from having lived the business. Our appraisal and consulting services provide far more than sideline advise. You can count on The Foster Company.

Assignments include: consultant and review appraiser for the takings at the Boston Convention Center site, the Polar Park Stadium in Worcester, and assignments in Boston, Brookline, Salem, Somerville, Plymouth, Bourne, Marlborough and Springfield, among others.
