What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Typically, we have a homeowner or customer in need of a real estate appraisal contact us via phone, text or email. We will have a conversation with them about what their needs are and what they are looking to gain out of the real estate appraisal. We will proceed to set up a time for our appraiser to come out to the property and perform the visual inspection of the property. We then collect the payment for the job, and back to the office we go to write your appraisal report. Typically we will turn the appraisal report and deliver via email to you within 48 hours.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

After many years of working only with lenders and other financial institutions, we took a leap of faith that there had to be more out there! We wanted the ability to reach customers directly, people just like you and me! Instead of meeting tons of homeowners, where they really were not "our clients", and there wasn't a relationship to develop, we decided to find out if there were people who needed us! With the help of Thumbtack and other websites who allow us to be a PRO, we have quickly developed a base of our own customers! People who need our expertise, and our services! We have been able to provide those services to them at a reasonable cost, with a superior level of professionalism and great customer service and a speedy turn-around time!
