When you hire a real estate appraiser to give you the value you need you may want to ask if the appraiser has the proper informational tools needed to arrive at the right value estimate.  Our office uses a variety of services at considerable annual expense to be sure we have the information we need in the areas we cover.  Services include an online county record service for all of the counties we cover, the Greater Utica/Rome Board of Realtors and their Multiple Listing Service, The Syracuse Multiple Listing Service and the Mohawk Valley listing service.  We also explore the websites that some communities make available for public use.  WE do this to assure that when we work for you we are as knowlegable as possible.
