Major services offered by JREI can be classified into three groups:
- research & study (assignments commissioned by the public and private sectors, in-house research projects, and joint efforts with foreign research institutions);
- appraisal (the “institutional” valuation procedure in which every draft report is discussed and reviewed by senior staff); and
- consulting (consulting services for urban renewal, property development, investment, etc., and the development and application of various valuation models).
With the comprehensive expertise developed in the above three fields of work, JREI has been able to maintain its reputation as a real estate think tank by conducting research for the public, by providing accurate and impartial appraisal reports, and by recommending efficient real estate utilization. JREI will continue to handle real estate in a professional manner through its many years of experience.
