I have been an appraiser for over fifteen years and during this time I have worked for a variety of different appraisal companies. Four years ago, I elected to terminate my relationships with these companies in favor of working for myself. At the time, my goal was to associate myself with a few mortgage brokerage companies who shared my views in business as well as life in general. As fortune would have it, I was able to locate a number of these companies and am now prospering from a very successful appraisal business.

One such company that I am working with is Preferred Financial. They are not only committed to their clients, they are also committed to their community. Their offices are located in San Ramon, most of the Preferred agents that I work with reside in San Ramon, and I live in San Ramon. In this light, I am well aware that they have supported the city of San Ramon in a variety of ways and with thousands of dollars. Most of these dollars were committed to the well being of the children of San Ramon; D.A.R.E., Character Counts, San Ramon Little League and Youth Sports are a few of the recipients of Preferred Financial donations. This says a great deal to me and I gladly pass this on to you.
