    Mr. Nelson Bringing Decades of Appraisal Expertise

    Mr. Nelson began his real estate career in 1983 as a real estate broker with Harley Snyder Realty. In 1986, he began appraising and was licensed in 1991, when it was mandated by the federal government. In March 1993 he opened Nelson Appraisal Service as a single man operation and grew to include five full-time appraisers as well as supporting staff.

    The most current technological advances available to appraisers and their clients are used. PDF and EDI transmission of appraisal reports, digital photos, digital mapping, digital drawings, and digital flood mapping are all utilized in the completion of reports.

    Since beginning in 1993, more than 22,800 appraisal reports have been completed including single family residences, multifamily units, condominiums, vacant lots and relocation appraisals.

    Assistance in legal proceedings as an expert witness has been provided on multiple occasions. Mr. Nelson has appeared and testified in courtrooms throughout the counties served more than 50 times, in addition to appearances at the US Federal Court, Hammond, Indiana.
