Project Resources

In undertaking our validation assignments, Boxwood draws on the following internal resources:

• National Database – Boxwood maintains a comprehensive database of millions of single-family, condominium and cooperative sales transactions. The massive size of this residential database, which is updated on a monthly basis, enables us to assemble fresh and appropriate statistical samples of transactions for most jurisdictions across the U.S. As a result, we are able to support AVM testing for local, regional and national banks irrespective of the size of their lending footprint.

• Risk Modeling and Testing Experience – We have deep experience with real estate modeling, having developed numerous risk and valuation tools for various industry applications. Among other client relationships, we have a multi-year contract with a top-five national bank involving ongoing testing of several AVMs.

• Quantitative Methods – Boxwood’s professional staff includes analysts led by company principal, Michaell Taylor, who has a Ph.D. in quantitative methods. Michaell specializes in client real estate assignments involving quantitative and statistical modeling, optimization and risk management. He acts as principal investigator on the firm’s AVM validation engagements.
