A few things are important to me when I’m looking for a vendor to conduct business with. Timely response, courtesy and professionalism, and competence. If those things are important to you too – these are your people! Really appreciate the service.

I am an out-of-town property owner who needed a small commercial building appraised. Appraisal was on time and well prepared. Just as important, all three people I spoke with at this firm were friendly, thorough, and informative; and I even got some tips for where my costs were out of line so I can manage my building better!

The whole experience was phenomenal! The service was prompt, professional, and most of all fair. I was most impressed with Marc and his work ethic of not only being the owner, yet yielding his time to be thorough, and extremely customer service driven. The appraiser (Larry) was also knowledgeable, experienced, led us throughout the whole process, and executed the job in a way where we were pleasantly pleased. I would recommend this company to any and all who need the services they render.

Marc and his colleagues were very responsive to our needs for a retrospective commercial property appraisal and fair market rent estimate. From the initial call where they took the time to explain their services and provide a quote for the appraisal, to providing a letter of engagement, setting up a site visit, and producing the final report. They came in on budget and ahead of estimated time to deliver the appraisal report. I would use them again!

Working with Marc, Scott and Jack has been a true pleasure. They work thoroughly, and quickly. I first called Marc when I needed an appraisal on a 7 unit building. We were already deep into the escrow as the seller was being difficult giving us access for the inspections. When the deal fell apart and my client identified a new property in another neighborhood, Marc did that appraisal and DID NOT charge us an additional fee. That’s what I call customers service!!! Thank you I will be calling again!

It is infrequent to come across a company that is genuinely honest and considerate of their non-customers. I called with an inquiry and immediately they found faults in my interests. They took time to point out issues and resolutions to my concerns. It was clear that they could not turn me into a customer. Nonetheless, a couple of days later they followed up with me and helped me further to resolve my issues. Although I never became a customer, they helped me tremendously. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this company for their time and honesty!
