G&J Manfra Real Estate Appraisals (ACE Appraisal)

I am another incredibly satisfied non-customer: Gina and Jerry were kind enough to let me know that it was really to early to appraise a property that I plan to sell some time out from now. I am always impressed by a professional who will turn away business when it's not in the customer's best interest. That's what a true expert does. I'll be back when I need this done next year.

Amazing. I phoned Jerry. He listened to me and then proceeded to tell me that I did not need his services at this time. He spent time to explain why and how I should proceed with my plan. He was detailed, thoughtful, easy to understand and even told me to call him if I needed follow-uo information. This is a special man, I would hire him in a minute.

Was very professional and punctual and provided the appraisal prior to the date he committed. However, I asked for two appraisals on two separate properties and I didn’t agree with one of them. When questioned Mr Manfra provided a cursory response and despite at least two other emails with questions and comments - he never replied or in anyway followed up with me. The info provided in support was essentially the same I could have received for free from either Zillow or a real estate agent.

Great! He asked me some questions related to the property.

Contacted Jerry for an appraisal in hopes to eliminate PMI from my mortgage. He quickly called me back and informed me he probably couldn't help me as I would probably have to use an appraiser assigned by the bank. I called the bank and he was right. I called him back to let him know and he actually took the time to discuss the numbers with me even though he knew I couldn't hire him. He even told me I could call him with any questions I may have should I decide to move forward, as a courtesy. Will definitely hire if I ever have a need for an appraiser.

Very well. Jerry took the time to share some of his extensive knowledge of the RE business, which was very helpful to me. He was punctual, thorough and completed the appraisal before the promised date.

Great. jerry was very helpful, provided insight how to approach a broker effectively. ultimately, he actually talked me out of using his services, and losing a sale was fine with him. I highly recommend him.

The rep spent a long time helping me and giving me direction as to how I should proceed.

I wanted an unbiased appraisal of the value of my condo in the hopes of selling it without an agent. The appraiser was very professional, spent a lot of time examining my property and answering my questions. I was very happy with the process and with the quality of the appraisal report.

I contacted G&J to request an appraisal of my single family residence in Boston prior selling the property. In addition to the appraisal, I was looking for some insight regarding potential improvements to maximize the sale of the house. Over the phone, Gina was extremely pleasant and professional and took the time to thoroughly understand my goals. Not only was Jerry on time for the appointment, he was early - something I greatly appreciated. While conducting his review of the house and property, Jerry spent a good deal of time answering my questions. He also made some great recommendations I hadn't considered. His experience was obvious and he was a great resource. The appraisal report was delivered early. The report was completed in great detail including a narrative, methods, assumptions, comps, etc. A concise and functional document which served our purposes perfectly. A++ overall, and I'd gladly use G&J Manfra services again. More importantly, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. Do not shop around. Call G&J Manfra Real Estate Appraisals for your appraisal needs. Thanks and well done!

Jerry showed up on time, documented condition internally and externally, answered all questions that we had, and was able to provide a completely documented writeup within days. He was also able to facilitate some quotes on some extra cleanup services that we may need in the future. All said - couldn't have gone better and I'd use Jerry / G&J Manfra again.

Jerry responded to my email very promptly, was able to schedule me for an appointment within two days, and provided a thorough, professional and friendly appraisal of my home. The report was delivered even before he estimated it would be available. I could not have been more happy with the service.

Jerry was really helpful throughout the whole process. He spent a while on the phone with me explaining my different options. He was very knowledgeable at the appraisal and provided us with a beautifully complete, detailed and well-researched report. We really appreciate all of his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an appraisal.

Jerry was prompt, thorough, professional and customer-focused throughout the entire process. When I called back nine months later with some follow-up questions, he provided in-depth answers verbally and followed-up with data via e-mail to support his assertions. I've used them twice in the past few years and they've exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for an appraisal, Ace Appraisal deserves your serious consideration.

I called Jerry to ask about a prospective land purchase. He was extremely helpful, provided me with a great education on the factors involved, and seemed very knowledgeable. His evaluation in our phone discussion was very thorough, backing up his statement with lots of evidence. Since the land purchase would not add too much value to my home, he thought it would not be advisable to make use of his formal assessor services. It's clear that Jerry is an honest professional! Add to that, the fact that I received all the information I needed, and I would highly recommend him if you need property assessment.

I called and Mr. Gentile called me back in a timely manner. I got an appointment for the next week. We needed an appraisal of a 2 family house that was being inherited by brother and me. Mr. Gentile was on time and went through the house and asked questions. He also gave us some tips on what we should fix and not fix when the time came to sell the house. He also sent us a very detailed appraisal in a timely manner. I would recommend him anyone in the area. Also, the price seemed fair.

Mike arrived at the appointed time, reviewed each room, 1st and 2nd floor, basement, furnaces etc. took pictures and prepared a written report within 2 days.

Appraiser was prompt, professional and thorough. He collected the information he needed in under 30 minutes and had my appraisal completed and in my hands in a week. I was extremely satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Mike Gentile of Ace Appraisal had arrived before the time of appointment and had already begun examining the exterior of the property by the time I arrived. He conducted a thorough examination of the exterior and interior of the property and submitted a comprehensive 19 page report. He also discussed the real estate market of the area and and impressed me as very knowledgeable about property marketing.

He was very honest from the beginning and would only agree to do the appraisal once he had explained the other options for determining a sales price and was sure that we knew that an appraisal was the way we wanted to go. Once he had engaged to do the appraisal, he was very quick and thorough. Would definitely use Ace Appraisal again. Very impressed with his honesty and professionalism.

Spent some time initially setting up the appointment due to a vacation I had planned but they arrived on time without any issues, again, overall great experience.

Gave details above -- it went very well -- I appreciate the fair assessment and courteous attitude. I would work with the firm again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal.

Excellent service, responsive to client, highly recommend.

Mike returned call(s) quickly, showed up on time. He proved to be professional and knowledgeable. He had some helpful insights. His appraisal was delivered promptly, and his report was nicely done.I would use him again, without question.

It went well start to finish. Initial phone call courteous and helpful; made appt.; appraiser did some background work first and called me to report some facts he had discovered at town hall; came and did appraisal; emailed report as pdf file within 4 days, followed by hard copy in mail. My main concern was finding someone I felt would do a thorough and honest job, which this company did.
