JT Ferstl is incredibly knowledgeable having grown up in the business and Little Rock. He has all the degrees and certifications as well as a law degree. But most of all he had the time to take my call immediately and give me advice on Real Estate Property reassessment. Thanks so much JT!

Report
Attempting to find missing information on for Google maps I went in and politely asked, after explaining in simple language that I was fact checking for Google, what the website and hours were for another business, Cynthia Voguel, that popped up with the same location. The receptionist was extremely discourteous and called someone else, equally as discourteous. I would never recommend a business that treats strangers so rudely.

Used these guys twice and was severely disappointed both times. Not good at communicating, poor appraisal values and late both times. Won't use them again.
