Superlative work, really needed to be done. Best part? Not having to drive to Halifax from the…read moreSouth Shore. Efficient service, secure, and confidence-inspiring in every way that's important. Will absolutely use her again when I need the appraisals updated in a timely manner. One piece appreciated over 100% in 5 years and almost 300% in 10. Good to have the insurance updated as well. 6 out of 5 stars. Did I mention not having to go into the city?

I have had the pleasure of working with Derek Bellefontaine from Mari-tech for the past two years…read more As a mortgage broker I have dealt with a lot of appraisers over the years but Derek is my go-to because of his quick turn around times, attentiveness and valuation. I have completed over 100 appraisals with Derek now and I have never had an issue on any of them. If there ever was an issue I'm sure he would be quick to respond to help find a solution. I noticed some of the other negative reviews but I have never had this experience with Derek in particular. I'm sure it must be tough being an appraiser as no praise is given when a good job is done but when a property isn't what someone thinks it is worth watch out!

While it's true that I don't own a house or condo...we're renters, but our friends do and since…read morethey were out of town, I was asked to deal with their real estate appraisal company (they needed an inspection done). And since I do have first hand knowledge at how personable, how accommodating and how professional the folks at Alderney Real Estate Appraisals are... especially Don Myatt, I had to share. Imagine having to deal with a client, who's away, their bank, and me...the third element to getting things done in a timely manner. No problem at all for Don. It was a pleasure to work with them and definitely who I'll be calling should I ever need a property appraised.

HORRIBLE Appraisal Company, No Service, Rude Staff I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM ESPECIALLY FOR MILITARY…read morePERSONNEL. READ MY STORY. I had an appraisal done by them a few month back, been in the house for only a year and had to move because of work. My house lost 15 000$ in value in a year with their evaluation without any rock solid proof that the market dropped which is actually going up. I discovered that the appraiser evaluated the house with personal feelings, plus the report; I sent it for professional review and got 5 major errors on the report that was not making it VALID. So I had to spend another few 100 of $$$$ to get another appraisal company to do my evaluation because it was just so wrong and stressful to deal with them and they did not want to cooperate showing their errors in front of them How RUDE!!!! So the other company that are well known and have a lot of years and degrees in this domain were so helpful and gave me the real value of my house which is 45 000$ more than the bad report. You lost me as a client and I know i am not the only one.

Contacted Kempton Appraisals for an appraisal on a piece of land I co-own on February 27th 2025…read more Talked to whom I think was a receptionist and gave her the information to the property. She gave me a price to generate the report and I agreed to go ahead. She said an agent would contact me to set an appointment to view the property and get more details. I called again on March 4th because I had not been contacted and the receptionist assured me that someone would get back to me by the end of the day. That didn't happen. On March 5th I contacted Alderney Appraisals and found an extreme difference between Kempton and Alderney's fee. ( Alderney much higher). I can only assume I was given the wrong fee from Kempton and they didn't have the courage to call me back and try to salvage the service. Very poor customer relations. I do not recommend Kempton Appraisals
