Business Challenge

Robert and Bryan Dragoo founded LOGAN Valuation to cater to institutional clients in Latin America that required a higher level of confidentiality and the appraisal certifications of MAI – MRICS. They saw a clear need to champion industry best practices that would help bring the region closer to more established and mature markets in the United States and Europe.

Further, they identified the need for increased transparency that could be provided by real estate fund managers to their investors. In ARGUS Developer, Robert and Bryan saw a tool that was not only widely used around the globe for development feasibility modelling, but also one that would improve their efficiencies and ultimately help grow their business.

The software was rigid enough to bring structure to modelling cash flow and loans, yet flexible enough to help the company seamlessly manage changes or updates needed throughout a project.

“We saw the need for a sophisticated modelling option and ARGUS Developer fit quite well, As the standard in the US, it was the ideal solution for raising the bar and offering our institutional clients exceptional service”, said Robert L. Dragoo, Co-Founder and Partner, LOGAN Valuation.
