About

Daniel Boring, CRE^®, MAI, ARA, ASA leads complex asset valuation and consulting engagements where real estate, machinery and equipment, operating businesses, and regulatory risk intersect.

For more than 30 years he has advised corporations, institutional investors, lenders, attorneys, and family offices on the valuation, analysis, acquisition, and disposition of institutional investment-grade real estate and machinery and equipment nationwide.

Dan is a senior vice president with Kidder Mathews Valuation Advisory Services, where he manages the firm’s national Machinery & Equipment practice and is a senior member of the Land, Agribusiness & Natural Resources, Marine Services, and Litigation Support & Dispute Analysis groups. His practice centers on assets that fall outside traditional valuation models — quarries and mineral reserves, landfills and waste infrastructure, marinas, ports and shipyards, agricultural operations and permanent plantings, aquaculture, controlled-environment agriculture, water rights, renewable energy, and contaminated properties — where value depends on permits, reserves, operating cash flow, and specialized equipment as much as land and buildings.

Attorneys and CPAs engage Dan for litigation support and expert testimony, estate and gift tax valuations, conservation easements, eminent domain, partnership disputes, and bankruptcy matters. Lenders and investors rely on his integrated real estate and equipment analysis when the collateral or the deal is more than land and buildings. He is a certified general real estate appraiser in 12 states and publishes Beyond the Core Four, a weekly newsletter examining the business, legal, and investment dynamics of specialized assets.

Why Contaminated and Remediated Properties Are Valued by the Business They Carry, Not Just the Dirt

Contaminated and remediated sites are among the clearest examples of why specialized real estate and machinery cannot be understood from the improvements alone.
