I had a fantastic experience working with Desiree! Her professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise in the field were truly impressive. She provided a thorough and accurate appraisal, ensuring I had a clear understanding of the value of my properties. I highly recommend Desiree for anyone in need of appraisal services. I was lucky to have her appraise my 2 properties. Thank you for your outstanding work!

I needed helping getting appraisals for 4 properties. Desiree did a great job on all 4; she was responsive, professional, honest, and thorough. I reached out to her many months later for additional information and she was still just as responsive and professional. I will definitely reach out to her for any future property appraisals!

I would highly recommend Eappraise to anyone in need of appraisal services. I’m a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty and I could not have asked for better service. I needed a rush appraisal and contacted Desiree. I was very impressed with her responsiveness, her professionalism and her work. She has definitely helped us look very professional and all of my appraisal jobs are going to her.
