I have worked in corporate America for over 40 years in the commercial and residential financing divisions. I have worked with several appraisal companies in my history in financing. Matt Reynolds and his team at Vanguard have by far exceeded any expectations we have had. They truly care about their partnership with the CDC I currently work for and our clients. They are and will always be my first pick. I will only consider another vendor if they do not have capacity. Damaris
