Scott performed a retrospective appraisal of a Manhattan co-op apartment for purposes of Estate valuation. His work was thorough and his demeanor professional at all times. He also provided very helpful guidance on how to obtain necessary information from the property manager and ran the information down himself when they were being obstinate. I would recommend his services to others.
