  The fee we incurred for a residential appraisal by Mary Thompson was the best money we have spent in a long time! Our property was somewhat complicated and she knew how to value the unique characteristics. We had her appraisal in hand to share with the buyer and received a full price offer within 2 days of listing the property. We could not have been more pleased! We will definitely call on Mary Thompson the next time we need an appraisal service. Plus it's a pleasure working with her.

  Response from the owner

  Mary is fantastic! I'm a real estate agent and have used her for a few pre-listing appraisals and her knowledge of the market has been invaluable. Having her data on hand during multiple offer situations allowed my sellers to navigate the chaos of this crazy market with clear heads and got them the best price for their home! Knowing your home's actual worth is a necessity and Mary's info. has been spot on every time!

  Response from the owner

  Blake, Thanks so much for your review! I am so happy that your sellers had that upper hand with the pre listing appraisal so they could make the best decision on which offer to take, along with your guidance as their Realtor, it is a win/win combination. Look forward to working with you in the future.

  I am very happy with Lanier Appraisal Service and Mary Thompson who recently appraised our Lake Lanier Home. She was very knowledgeable with Lake Properties. This whole process was new to me, but I am very glad that my Realtor suggested I have an appraisal done in order to determine how much I should List my property for. Mary spent a good deal of time at my home taking photos and measuring my house, and even provided me with suggestions on how to make my home show well for prospective buyers. I had no idea what my Lake home was really worth and she provided me with that information. She was very professional and helpful and if anyone is thinking of selling their Lake home or just wants to know what their home is worth, I recommend Lanier Appraisal Service and their appraiser Mary Thompson for the job.

  Finding an appraiser who is knowledgeable about lake properties is definitely a hit or miss proposition and if you have been around the lake long enough you certainly hear your share of bad experiences. When we decided to sell our lake home, Mary Thompson's name kept coming up as the "go to" person in terms of Lake Lanier appraisals and we certainly could not agree more based on our experience. Not only was Mary prompt, professional, fair and knowledgeable, she was great to work with and provided valuable home marketing advice as well. Her appraisal not only helped us establish an objective and defensible asking price, but it was also invaluable both to us as the sellers and to the buyers during negotiations on the final purchase agreement. We closed on our house last week, having had an incredibly pleasant and smooth transaction, in no small part because Mary helped us establish a fair and reasonable price. We would strongly advise getting an appraisal before marketing your home, especially a lake home given how unique each property tends to be, and you would be hard pressed to find a more skilled and objective appraiser to work with than Mary Thompson and Lanier Appraisal Service.

  We had our home on the market on Lake Lanier for a couple of years and even though we got activity and showings, we never got any offers! Working for the largest multiple listing service in Georgia, I knew the market and what other comparable homes on the lake were selling for but since the value to prices of the homes on Lake Lanier are all over the chart I decided to hire Mary Thompson to do a professional appraisal for us to figure out the right price so we could move our home! From working with Mary I realized that she is not only one of the most professional Appraisers in Georgia she is also very pleasant to do business with! I recommend her highly! Well, Mary provided us a professional appraisal and as a result of what she did, we reduce the sales price a little and actually got 2 offers within 30 days. Knowing my "bottom line" was a huge benefit to me (the seller) in negotiating the final price that we would accept all because I had that professional appraisal in hand! Thanks...Mary, my wife and I truly appreciate what you did for us! Dave and Karen Compretta

  Mary Thompson and Lanier Appraisal Service are the Lake Lanier appraisal experts! I have relied on Mary's professional real estate appraisal service for my own properties as well as my clients'. Her business has a strong Lake Lanier focus and she understands lakefront and land values better than any appraiser I have encountered in the area.

  My mother passed away leaving a house on Lake Lanier. We had no idea as to the value of the home so we had an appraiser come out and was very disappointed in the value that he appraised the home. I read reviews about Mary Thompson and Lanier Appraisal Service and decided to give her a call. So glad I did. She really knows the area and home values. She was very professional and caught several things the previous appraiser missed, like the view, dock and deep water to name a few. We are very happy with her appraisal and was able to sell the house within a week. If you have property or a home on Lake Lanier make sure you get an appraiser that knows the area and the lake or the values will be negatively impacted. I would definitely recommend Lanier Appraisal Service. Thank you Mary for all your help. Kathy and Reggie Smith

  Response from the owner

  Thank you so much for your review of our service. We are glad we could be of assistance to you during the difficult time of settling your Mother’s Estate. Getting an Appraiser who understands lake site values as you say is so crucial and your property certainly had that to offer! Thank you for your business!

  We use Mary to help us when we wanted to sell our home on Lake Lanier. We paid for a personal appraisal before listing the home to know the market and the right asking price. We found Mary very knowledgeable of the lake. Her appraisal helped us maximize our Sale Price. We would recommend using Mary.

  Response from the owner
