Our local business is backed by three generations of experienced commercial appraisers.
When we say that we’re a family-owned and -operated appraisal firm, we truly mean it. The owner and founder of Second City Appraisal, Andrew Richter, is a third-generation appraiser, learning the ropes from an early age while in the offices of his father and grandfather. After Andrew graduated from college, he gained more professional experience working in the family firm before launching his own business in 2017.
Today, Andrew’s highly successful appraisal business is trusted by countless property owners, investors, and owner-operators throughout the Chicago, Illinois region and beyond. Our firm specializes in creating detailed narrative reports for all types of properties, from industrial buildings and commercial facilities to vacant lots and small rental units. Our experienced team includes specialists who have helped clients determine the value of multi-family housing units, senior living centers, nursing homes, and even places of worship, ensuring every potential investor and owner has the complete information they need to make confident real estate decisions.
In addition to providing comprehensive reports in a timely manner, we work hard to tailor our services to meet our clients’ specific needs. Since we are a small business, we have the flexibility and deep local expertise needed to offer truly personalized solutions rather than cookie-cutter services. If you’re seeking an appraisal company that will treat you like a friend and neighbor rather than a number, we encourage you to give us a call.
If you’d like to learn more about our full range of appraisal services or set up a consultation, please reach out to our firm today.
