I have been actively engaged in the appraisal of real estate since 2003, working initially as a residential appraiser for Mickeriz Appraisal Company of Rumford, Maine. With R. G. Bramley & Co., Inc from 2004 to early 2010, commercial assignments included appraisals in connection with buying, selling, financing, and portfolio management. I am now an independent appraiser doing all kinds of commercial properties, and specializing in conservation easements, donations and acquisitions. I have experience with IRS and “Yellow Book” appraisals.

Complex Appraisals
Not that any non-residential appraisal is a trivial undertaking, some were particularly complex:
- An estate valuation of twenty six parcels of residential land in three abutting towns; some with potential conservation easements with twenty-four parcels considered for enhancement. (GT)
- Eleven commercial properties in five towns in two states. (FS)
- Four residential and seven commercial properties valued for estate planning. (BW)
- Fifty lake-front houses that were unfairly reassessed at a high rate: individual appraisals were made for tax abatements (PW)
- Eleven industrial buildings, two office buildings, and four ground leases; In seven different towns; Valued for estate planning (GN)
- An estate valuation of 24 residential and commercial properties (PS)
- Several eminent domain takings where my appraisal was made for the property owner and it could be used in litigation
- A health-care campus with sixteen buildings on seventy acres
