You probably arrived at this site for one of two reason, you’re either already a client or you are considering contacting my firm for appraisal services in the state of Delaware. Hopefully this site has enough useful information so that it becomes a resource for anyone seeking information on appraisals and the state of Delaware real estate market.

Who We Are

S. Brown & Company is comprised of just one appraiser, me, Scott Z. Brown and my wife, Ananda R. Brown who is my assistant and right hand person in the operation of our small business. While we are not adverse to adding additional appraisal staff to our roaster, being bigger is not our goal. My wife and I have operated with large appraisal staff before and we prefer the low key, personal touch we can offer our clients. We operate our business while raising our 2 children, Michael who is 13 and Laura who is 9. Our son is home schooled and our daughter goes to a small private school. You may have guessed that our business is operated from our home in Camden, Delaware which is centrally located in the state of Delaware.

Areas We Serve

Being centrally located in the small state of Delaware makes it relatively convenient to cover the entire state. We cover New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties with relative ease. We know the urban market that is characteristic of New Castle, the growing suburban area of Kent county and the beach and farm communities of Sussex county. Regardless of where your property in Delaware is we can appraise it.

My Professional Qualifications

I have been certified as a real estate appraiser for over 18 years. I held a real estate brokers license for over 15 years and I was a mortgage originator for over 8 years. Since I was 18 years old, when I purchased my first investment property. I participated in 3 of the last boom and bust real estate cycles that began in the 1970s and the current one we are going through now that started in 2005 and 2006. I graduated from Temple University with a degree in Law and Real Estate Studies. While I am sure that there are some real estate professionals with greater industry experience than myself, I believe that those individuals that exist are few and far between.

Who We Serve

We primarily serve homeowners, lenders, attorneys and on occasion insurance companies. While appraisals for mortgage finance are a common, we also provide valuation services for divorce, bankruptcy, and estate purposes. We also help homeowners determine the market value of their property for tax purposes or to determine the best proper listing price for sale purposes. I have even had sellers ask for appraisal after receiving an offer on their property before being wiling to accept it. We help buyers determine the market value of homes they wish to purchase as well. There are many reasons why we are contracted to provide a real estate valuation service.

Our Service and Philosophy

Our goal is to delivery high quality, reliable reports that you can depend on, delivered in the shortest amount of time possible.

Some of our clients want reports as soon as possible while others want reports so completely prepared and thorough that they can stand up to the most vigorous dissection and criticism. We think we satisfy our clients on both accounts.
