I called for some insight on remodeling regarding increasing the value of the home, and Clark was extremely cordial and helpful knowing that he was merely spending his time to educate me and give me valuable and actionable information.

Clark was only interested in how much he was going to get paid. I said I was uncomfortable with the start of this conversation as he told me nothing about what he could do for us. He was immediately defensive and said "I've been in business 12 years and no one has complained before" and I said good bye. Wow, worst experience I've had in any sales capacity. Google makes you give 1 star, I can't even give that!

Excellent work on my multi-unit building. Really appreciated the extra effort to include the value of the excess land available.

Thanks for your attention to detail. We had three lots to distribute to heirs, all similar but different. Your appraisals helped make the process of keeping things equal a lot easier.
