Testimonials

Very Professional SS from Chesapeake, VA I contacted Mr. Rossman after searching online for an appraiser in New York, on Long Island. I live in another State and have a lot of experience working with appraisers in my area. I was very reluctant to engage anyone over the internet and was expecting to be disappointed. However, I needed an appraisal, was in a hurry, and didn't have any local contacts to ask for referrals. Mr. Rossman was quick, accurate, reasonably priced and was willing to discuss all questions I raised, before and after I paid him. I was extremely satisfied with his work and his professional demeanor

Notably good service experience DD from Miller Place, NY a Great experience plan to use him again. Would have liked more info on what a heated finished basement is worth, a heated finished garage is worth, how much of a negative not having central a/c is, what a mudroom is worth with OSE and what a new roof adds vs. a very old one and what deeded beach rights are worth and how desirable being a short walk to a private beach is to a potential buyer. I asked many questions and got them answered and even had another comp added with not problem from Ken. Next time I'll ask the above questions and be more knowlegable about the whole process. Ken also followed up with an emailed Real Estate Report for 2006 which was helpful in determining my asking price

Can count on them! AFL from Boca Raton, FL As a private lender we need accurate appraisals especially in today's markets. Rossman's advice goes beyond the appraisal. He shares his knowledge and experience which helps us to make decisions on difficult loans.We would not use anyone else for the five NYC counties and the two L.I.counties.

The best decision I ever made! JB from Little Neck, NY Great quality and customer service. Recommend posting fee schedule on web site to avoid confusion.

Extremely efficient service. Highly recommended. JB-2 from Syosset, NY My fathers house was appraised within a couple of days of my calling. We received the appraisal within 2 or 3 days via e-mail. I requested a printed copy, and received it immediately. I was very pleased with the service, and the promptness in which it was delivered.

commercial appraisal louis12 from Commack, NY Ken was very professional. He came in on budget and on time. When I was looking for an appraiser I called a few listed and Ken called back in a timely manner. Other appraisers did not even return my calls. Ken took my information and gave me a comprehensive report on the property I was interested in.I would have not purchased the property at the price I was able to without this report. I have already recommended Ken to a member of family and will use him again when I need an appraiser

Exceptional Commercial Appraisers at a fair and Reasonable Price JZZAZZR from Oceanside, NY Ken Rossman and his staff exceeded our expectations in every way. They provided a professional appraisal report on a very unusual property in a very timely manner and for a reasonable fee. I would recommend them very highly
