Since 2006, Deb has looked for ways appraisers can better serve their clients, their community, and their profession (also in that order). This is what took her from becoming a Certified General Appraiser with the MAI designation, to running her own appraisal company (MountainWest Valuations), and eventually landing on the biggest need of all: Evaluations.
