I have known Rick Golden for the better part of 30 years. When I think of
appraisers, I think of Rick Golden immediately. I don’t believe I know any appraiser with more experience or knowledge than Rick. As a real estate instructor there are only a handful of people that I solicit for advice. Rick Golden is one of those people. Rick has always demonstrated the highest in ethics in his field as well. I would 100% feel comfortable using Rick Golden for any appraisal I
would ever need.

I am an attorney at law licensed in the State of Florida since 1976. My primary area of practice is real estate law. I have worked with Rick Golden on various matters throughout the years both for myself and my clients, and have always found him to be helpful, knowledgeable and responsive.

Having been in the contracting and real estate business for many years in this area we have worked with appraisers on many occasions. When it was time to have our personal residence appraised prior to listing it for sale, we contacted the top appraiser on our list, Rick Golden. Having worked with Rick in the past we were confident he would provide the knowledge, experience and insight to aid us in establishing a realistic listing price for our home. Rick did not disappoint. His attention to detail and ability to identify relevant issues that would impact both value and marketability were quickly evident. Additionally, Rick’s willingness to communicate his ideas and thoughts both verbally and in writing allowed us to make a good business decision. Rick’s passion for his work and his positive demeanor are a breath of fresh air. We highly recommend Rick Golden to anyone that needs a real estate appraisal for any reason. Rick doesn’t just provide appraisal services; he truly cares about his customers. We recommend that you call Rick Golden for all your appraisal needs. You will be happy you did.

I met Richard Golden in April of 2004 when I solicited him for an Appraiser Trainee position at his firm. Hired as a subcontractor. I worked with Rick until August of 2005 when I chose to work as an independent business owner. We are still colleagues and in touch today. I cannot speak highly enough of his expertise and experience. From day one, I was impressed by his knowledge base and the quality of work that came out of his office, The time and details he put into his work has always been above and beyond that of his peers. (Do it right the first time and it will not come back.) I took that business approach in my own company and he was right. Rick is a kind personable gentleman, eloquently spoken with an ethical foundation. He taught me how to be an excellent appraiser and I credit my success to him. He was my mentor.
