After 24 years in the Appraisal profession Maria Hopkins has appraised everything from the ice cream stand to the multimillion dollar Retail Plaza and everything in between. Recent appraisals include subdivisions in distress, a mobile home park, an auto dealership and a gravel pit. Clients know that Maria Hopkins Associates will deliver a quality report that tells it like it is. We enjoy the challenge of appraising a variety of properties. The most interesting day I had years ago involved appraising a strip club in the morning and a church in the afternoon. I didn't think about it until I got to the church and couldn't help but chuckle at the coincidence of those 2 assignments on the same day. Of course, I had a lot of volunteers to help me with the first assignment. That assignment also went to trial as it involved a messy estate. I never saw so many attorneys involved in 1 case. Maria Hopkins has experience as an expert witness in various courts in Massachusetts and can handle anything unexpected and follow through for her client.
