Kinnane Group cites an active 2016 with real estate appraisals
Fall River, MA According to John Kinnane of the Kinnane Group, the firm has appraised $52 million worth of real estate in the first six months of 2016. “While we have never been short on work, this certainly has been a very active year for us so far,” said Kinnane.
Their appraisals have involved residential, commercial and industrial properties and while their client base is national in scope, the majority of this work has been performed for local market participants, be that property owners themselves, attorneys, government agencies, financial advisors, accountants or lending institutions.
Their client base is very broad and diversified and this has been key to their long history and sustainability as a real estate service provider.
The Kinnane Group has a long standing history of providing quality real estate appraisal services with high performance standards that embraces technology initiatives while demonstrating geographic competency. The Kinnane Group is in its 56th year of operation as a leading real estate service provider to the southcoast area of Massachusetts and east bay region of Rhode Island.
