Bio
Stewart Bernstein
I have always respected and appreciated Michael's professionalism and business acumen. Michael has appraised several properties for me and truly gets not just the valuation process but the entrepreneurial process as well which may be even more important to understanding value. I trust him completely.
Mike Cordes
Michael handled a complex appraisal assignment, which included a tax abatement analysis, for a HUD insured construction/permanent loan for Columbia National in a timely, professional and constructive manner. I would absolutely recommend him to lenders or developers in need of a sophisticated appraiser for a commercial or multifamily project.
