Mathew is a fair man. He was very straight forward with what he was offering, how long it would take. He earned my trust from the first consultation! I feel his prices were spot on. Although he charged the same as another company, Mathew charged 10% less than the one other company and 3% less than the third company I talked to. I chose to work with Mathew both because he was very knowledgeable about this County, plus Mathew was always available. Divorce is difficult. Mathew made me feel like I am back in control over this challenging time of my life. Clean, easy-to-access office with free parking. Accessible office. Clean and tidy word space.

There was only a few appraisers available that met my criteria. After interviewing each, Tom was the clear choice. He spent quite a bit of time inspecting the house, under the house, walking the land. He compiled the report in an appropriate amount of time the and presented a thorough and extensive report. I was quite satisfied with the report. When it came time to sell the house I went back to Tom Melville for his realtor experience. He marketed the house in quite an impressive plan. Open house days, advertising, flyers in and out of our area. He fielded calls to see the house and scheduled viewings around the tentants schedule which was not always easy. He was available on a moment's notice to meet with a buyer for sometimes hours. His marketing strategy was spot on. I plan to call on Tom for future real estate endeavors and will do so without reservation or hesitation. He's now my "Real Estate Person".

Turns out Vicki not only has experience handling disputes with the county, she has family members who worked for the county assessor's office (so she knows how things work). Vicki was prepared to provide an appraisal quickly and affordably, but after reviewing my situation she advised that while the county's assessment was sloppily done, the impact on my tax bill (what I ultimately cared about) was unlikely to improve (for reasons too complex to go into here). I was grateful and impressed with Vicki's knowledge, efficiency, and honesty. She could easily have convinced me to pursue and appraisal, but advised me not to.
