A Word about some of my competitors

/>

It should be no secret that many of my international appraisal assignments come from on-line search engines. While I still get top of front page results on Bing and Yahoo and Yandex (Russian search engine), I’ve slid down to the 4^th page on Google, where I am dismayed to find myself ranked below ads placed by trolls – unnamed middlemen who create fanciful web sites with very little information, if any, about who works there, who’s in charge, and what is their experience? These trolls then call me and other real international appraisers to get us to bid on serving the suckers who got attracted to their fake sites. Trolls. Middlemen.

They may have fanciful names such as “Mega World Appraisal Valuation”, but disclose nothing about their staff, their leadership, and their assignments.  Do not be fooled. Call a real appraisal firm and find out who will be doing your international assignment. If you call The International Appraiser, I promise that I will personally appraise and inspect your properties based on 41 years of appraisal experience.  I have no other staff and don’t farm out work to contractors, but I do confer with and sometimes hire appraisers in other countries. I write the reports, though, and make the final value conclusion.
