Dana has a long running and remarkable appraisal career in Central Oregon that has spanned over 35 years.
Real estate is the primary source of wealth in our economy and I believe people that own, manage, sell, purchase, invest in, or loan money on the security of real estate must have ready access to the services of trained real estate appraisers. My goal is to provide excellence in real estate valuation analysis for clients with properties in the Central Oregon region.
At Bratton Appraisal Group LLC, we focus on state licensing, continuing education, and strong relationships with market participants that are involved in active real estate projects throughout Central Oregon.
Please consider making my firm a part of your Central Oregon real estate appraisal team.
