Testimonials

Below you’ll find highlights from our hundreds of happy real estate, commercial real estate and litigation customers who have benefited from our expertise and unparalleled customer service.

“I have worked with Michael over the years on several complex valuations. His appraisals are thoroughly reasoned, detailed and on time!”

David Strouse

“I have had the great pleasure of working with Michael Lester. He provided an analysis of a large property on short notice and he completed the work as quickly as we needed it. It was very critical to decisions that were made. I would turn to Michael for the next opportunity. I am impressed by his professionalism and his work product. I expect Michael and his colleagues will continue to earn great success in a business that has never been more important.”

Richard P. Rome

Vice Chairman, Savills North America

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Lester on an appraisal for a financing in Howard County, Maryland. We had a tight timeline to refinance the existing note and Michael worked very hard to accommodate the short turnaround on the appraisal. Michael is clearly well qualified and very experienced in his practice and I really enjoyed working with him. If you are looking for diligent, thorough and thoughtful appraisal group to work with, I highly recommend Willowbrook Valuation.”

Ronnie Barnes

“Michael did excellent work on a large commercial valuation in Fairfax County, with a very quick turnaround in both of the two “phases” of the project. Michael was clear in defining the scope of the work, and incredibly well organized in his requests for materials needed for the valuation, which showed in the quality/thoroughness of the end product. While his work speaks for itself, Michael was also the consummate professional throughout: courteous, flexible, and maybe most importantly with complicated commercial valuations, persistent! I will certainly recommend Michael and Willowbrook to my clients as future valuation needs arise.”

Drew Murray

David Rudow

“I had a 10 day deadline to obtain an appraisal for my condominium building. I called Michael Lester at Willowbrook. He came out the same day I called and sent the appraisal report ahead of the deadline. He was professional and knowledgeable. His report was complete and accepted easily by our insurance company. I was extremely pleased with Willowbrook.”

Annamarie Krackow

“Willowbrook did valuation work for us at a complicated, adaptive re-use project. They were diligent in reviewing the information we provided, thorough in their site review and responsive as questions and issues were raised. We would certainly look to work with them again.”

Appraisals and valuations have always been very thorough and completed in a timely manner. Michael also has been a great resource for our clients who need appraisals and tax appeals.”

“Michael Lester recently completed an appraisal report of a 3 phase apartment community in the Baltimore MSA. Not only did Michael deliver in a timely manner, he was able to utilize his expertise in the Subject’s market to provide valuation services and insight above and beyond the scope given. I would highly recommend Michael in future valuation propositions.”
