John Podulka

Appraise Real Estate As executor of my father's estate I needed an appraisal of his home for tax purposes. Kevin quickly prepared a very thorough and detailed report. He was friendly and easy to work with. The appraiser hired by our eventual buyer's lender came up with an identical valuation -- it was great to see that confirmation of the accuracy of Kevin's work, and of course in a situation like this "no surprises" is a very good thing.

Appraise Real Estate Kevin Vaught did my appraisal. He showed up right at the time he said he would and did a professional walk through the house and the property. He supplied us with the house and land appraisal as well as for the lot only, broken down to show us both values. I would recommend him to friends and family.
