      <image:title>Blog - Celebrating 20 Years in Business - In 2022, I teamed up with a commercial appraiser named Tom Lenahan.</image:title>
      <image:caption>He earned his MAI from the Appraisal Institute, which is the highest designation on the commercial side of appraising. Being able to consult with Tom proved extremely helpful with some of these challenging appraisals. Furthermore, we are now able to complete commercial appraisals, which has been especially helpful when someone has an estate with both residential and commercial properties.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sometimes I see fun things on an appraisal inspection. One homeowner collected vehicles from movies. This included the actual car from Ghostbusters 2. He also had replicas of two Batmobiles, a DeLorean from Back to the Future, and the Flintstones’ car. Of course, personal property is not included in the value of real estate appraisals.</image:caption>
