Our first responsibility at Taft Appraisal Service is to inspect the property to determine its true status. We must see features hands on, such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the location, and so on, to ensure they truly exist and are in the shape a reasonable person would expect them to be. No matter what type of real estate you have, our experience and hours of study as licensed appraisers make us qualified to provide home valuations in Dutchess County for clients ranging from national mortgage companies, to local lenders or individual businesses and consumers.
