My education ensures that environmental conditions, historical details, and market volatility are considered to minimize errors and financial risks.

An appraisal's credibility is crucial in legal disputes, insurance evaluations, and financing decisions. As a Certified General Appraiser, I provide detailed and defensible reports that can withstand scrutiny. This thorough validation process assures stakeholders that the asset valuation reflects all specialized factors and risks, which is vital for Nantucket properties.

Nantucket Real Estate & Appraisal uses proprietary value models and real-time market analytics to capture local market trends and then paired with extensive geographic expertise to provide data-rich appraisals with minimal call backs and revision requests.
Engaging a geographically competent appraiser may involve a higher cost, but this investment is essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the appraisal.
There are only a handful of appraisers with membership to the Nantucket MLS and of those there is but one that is both a Certified General Appraiser, General Accredited Appraiser and a local resident.
Off-island appraisers rely on ferry services to travel to and from the island. Weather can cause numerous ferry cancellations, resulting in canceled appraisal inspections. Renting a vehicle on the island is both cost prohibitive and often sold-out, resulting in the use of a taxi to inspect the subject and comps. Ask yourself, does arriving in a taxi to a property exude geographic competency?
While a geographically competent appraiser may have a higher initial cost, the expertise and attention to detail can save time, prevent costly errors, and provide reassurance to the borrower that the lender is employing a qualified professional.
Therefore, investing in a geographically competent appraiser is a prudent decision that offers several benefits, ensuring a high-quality appraisal consistent with the fees paid, protecting your investment, and fostering trust in the transaction.
