Hi there - I was born and raised in NE Philly and currently reside in Ambler with my husband Greg.
We love taking our grandchildren on adventures while encouraging curiosity and gratitude for all the beautiful experiences life has to offer.
I have been appraising homes in Philadelphia and suburbs since 2004 and training new appraisers since 2014.
Looking forward to meeting you, and helping you find the answers to any and all of your questions.
PS: The unique and challenging appraisals are my favorite!
I can be directly reached on my cell phone at 215-280-9876 or email: carole@zenappraisals.com
