Item 4.  Changes in Control of Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

         (a)  Previous independent accountants.

                  (i) On or about  January 18, 2000,  Maxus Real  Property-Four,
L.P.  (formerly  known as Nooney Real  Property-Four,  L.P.) (the  "Registrant")
dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Registrant's independent accountants.

                  (ii)   Deloitte  &  Touche  LLP's  reports  on  the  financial
statements  of the  Registrant  for the past two fiscal years did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

                  (iii) The  decision  to  dismiss  Deloitte & Touche LLP as the
Registrant's  independent  accountants was recommended by the Registrant's audit
committee.

                  (iv) During the Registrant's  fiscal years ending November 30,
1997 and November  30, 1998 and the  subsequent  interim  period  preceding  the
dismissal,  there were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter
of accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial  statement  disclosure,  or
auditing  scope or  procedure  which,  if not  resolved to the  satisfaction  of
Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to make reference
to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with their report.

                  (v) During the periods  listed in item (iv) above,  there have
been no  "reportable  events" (as defined in paragraph  (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of
Regulation S-K).

                  (vi) The Registrant has provided  Deloitte & Touche LLP with a
copy of this disclosure and requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP furnish it with
a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "Commission")
stating whether it agrees with the above  statements.  (A copy of the Deloitte &
Touche LLP letter addressed to the Commission will be filed by amendment to this
Form 8-K within 10 business days.)
