The team's expertise focuses on the valuation of land and residential development properties with specialization in all types of subdivisions, retirement communities, master-planned communities, commercial and mixed-use land, golf courses, marinas and condominium and townhouse projects. Additionally, Mr. Tonneson has provided expert witness testimony of residential development and land assets in over 100 hearings in the state of Georgia. Prior to NKF, the duo worked in the Valuation & Advisory group at Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) in Georgia.
