Extensive Research and First Class Customer Support

It is our office policy to interview a party to each transaction when possible. We do not rely exclusively on what is reported on MLS, CoStar, public record or other data sources. We find it necessary to turn secondary data into primary data by asking the “right questions” to a party to the transaction. We have an extensive network of high caliber real estate professionals that we rely upon to get the “back story” for each transaction. “Ask intelligent questions and you will get intelligent answers” Our staff is trained to adhere to the aforementioned.

We utilize both staff appraisers and independent contractors who have geographic competency in the areas they appraise.

Technology

We are equipped with the latest real estate appraisal programs, including ACI and Narrative1 for writing reports and an Order management System called ETRAC. Status updates are provided on a regular basis. Clients also have the ability to access our Office Management System for status, to place an order and download completed appraisal assignments on an as needed basis.  Our professional and courteous front office staff is dedicated to providing outstanding customer service to all of our clients.
