For more than 57 years, Joseph J. Blake and Associates, Inc. has maintained these high standards as one of the country's largest independent nationwide real estate valuation and consulting firms. The addition of J.J. Blake Technical Services, LLC, a provider of engineering, environmental reports and contract underwriting, enables Blake to be the only international firm to provide all of these services to the commercial real estate community. Our "Onesource" approach to third-party due diligence has been widely praised for bringing efficiency to a traditionally inefficient process.

Our company engages exclusively in providing real estate consulting services, valuations, technical services and due diligence to the global marketplace. Our clients principally consist of lending institutions, public and corporate pension funds, insurance companies, corporations, REIT's, JREITS (Japan), government agencies, the Wall Street securitization community, rating agencies, opportunity funds, developers, investors and other fiduciary oriented clients in need of independent, third-party real estate services.

Independence is of great importance to our clients. Confidentiality of our clients' property and deal-specific data and ethical behavior of our professionals are paramount. As an independent company we are not subject to the perceived and potential conflicts of interest associated with valuation divisions of commercial brokerage companies and accounting firms.

Our full-service due diligence services include:

Appraisals Engineering—Property Condition Assessment (PCA) Environmental (Phase I) Seismic—Probable Maximum Loss (PML) Contract Underwriting Capital Markets and Securitization Support Services Litigation, Foreclosure and Bankruptcy Support Services Business Valuation

Property Type Capability

Our services are available for virtually all types of commercial property. Common property types include: apartment complexes, office buildings, shopping centers, industrial parks, telecom buildings, all forms of hospitality, mobile home parks, residential developments, timeshares, senior housing, health care and other forms of special use or going concern properties.

Consistency

One of the most important aspects of our "Onesource" approach is our emphasis on consistency. We strive not only for consistency in each report, but also among all reports, i.e., appraisal, engineering and environmental, for a single property or portfolio. This is something that is rarely achieved when two or three vendor firms are involved in the process.

Other advantages of our "Onesource" approach include:

• Cost Efficiencies
• Timing Efficiencies
• Ease of Ordering/Organization at Blakeglobal.com
• Electronic delivery worldwide
