My husband was home and met with the appraiser. He was impressed with his attention to detail and his thoroughness with the buildings and the property. He found him to be friendly and professional. Generally we found your company easy to deal with and we appreciated the timeline. Everything flowed smoothly from start to finish.

We had a great experience. We had a fast turn around between calling the office and getting an email. All the instructions and expectations were clear, understandable and easy. Our appraiser, Matt Dutton, was a super nice guy, couldn’t ask for a more personable, friendly person to come do the appraisal. We would definitely recommend Spurgeons Appraisals to someone looking to have their home assessed.

Everything went well. We had started the process when our mom had passed and dropped the ball but you had kept the file so it made it simple to come back to and complete. Thanks!
