Hi there – I was born and raised in NE Philly and currently reside in Ambler with my better half, Greg. We love spending time with our children and grandchildren. I’m always on the lookout for beautiful hiking spots when out on the road in between appraisal appointments. I have been appraising homes in Philadelphia and suburbs since 2004 – the unique, challenging properties are my absolute favorite! Looking forward to meeting you and helping you find the answers to any and all of your questions.
I can be directly reached on my cell phone at 215-280-9876 or email: carole@zenappraisals.com
