    I had IAS do an appraisal in Andersonville for an investment property I own. They completed my report quickly and I was very happy with the results. I would recommend their firm to anyone seeking appraisal services.

    I was impressed from the first phone call with Brad. He was extremely helpful and provided information that I didn't know to ask. Pricing was right around what I thought it would be, but he also let me know about a 10% discount if done in the month of March, which I took advantage of. Honora called before arriving and was right on time. She viewed all levels of the property, took pictures of the rooms, checked out the garage and back and front yards and took measurements. She also explained a little about her process and that she would seek similar properties to base her assessment upon and not use flips (unless absolutely necessary). She used 3 nearby properties and I am more than satisfied with the work done.

    IAS Residential Appraisal was great to work with and reasonably priced. The Appraiser was professional, showed up on time and the report was comprehensive with all documentation to show how the appraiser arrived at their conclusion. The report was delivered within the timeframe discussed. The owner called to verify that I did receive the report.
