Nathan
Bernhardt, of Bernhardt Appraisal, in Portland, OR, received a big New Year’s
surprise, this week in the form of a free house. In early January, Mr. Gary
Geben had hired Mr. Bernhardt to perform an appraisal to determine market
value, for a potential listing of the home, in Southwest Portland. According to Mr. Geben, Mr. Bernhardt
finished the appraisal in 48 hours, as promised, and did a fantastic job
comparing the home to similar houses, and explained himself very competently.
Mr. Geben also added that Mr. Bernhardt showed up on time, was dressed
professionally, had a great attitude, was familiar with the area, and asked
very pertinent questions.
“It had to
be done”, added Mr. Geben, “Nathan Bernhardt nailed that appraisal analysis, and
I wanted to give him a gift worthy of his efforts!”
What did Mr.
Bernhardt think about his new property? “It was the right thing to do.”, said
Bernhardt. “You cannot overlook an appraisal analysis, like the one I performed
for Mr. Geben.” He added, “I think this will likely be a new trend as
appreciation for residential real estate appraisers is at an all-time high!”
The
neighbor, Jan Jones, was also considering donating her home to Mr. Bernhardt
for taking such great care of the Geben family, and the ideals of the appraisal
profession. “We strongly believe in rewarding great work”, said Ms. Jones.
