I honestly don't know where to start. I'll try my best to be very detailed. Mike has helped me and my family, A LOT! He appraised my house Sept of 2017 and I was very pleased I hired him. He answered ALL of my questions, of which some I was hesitant to ask for it might sound stupid. Since then, Mike and I have formed a friendship and he would always mentor me and help with questions I have (about selling the house and finding the right investment property for me and my family). He was so generous of his time and wasn't shy of giving me pointers and suggestions. Last year, I used his services again to appraise my mother's house and he was on target again. Last year, also, I tried listing my house by myself without a realtor - to save some money - but had to take the listing out after a few months as my wife was about to give birth. All along the way, Mike was there to guide me, support me, and answer pretty much whatever questions I had. Many months passed, I decided to list the house again on January, 2019. I told Mike that I will hire a realtor this time as I really want this house to sell for my family and I wanted to move closer to the city. Mike explained to me that I am better off selling this house myself and that the market is better this time in Carpentersville. Without hesitation, I told him that I will do that because I TRUST him. I eventually sold the house in 6 days of it being in the market! (Savings of roughly $9k) Mike pretty much acted as my realtor and guided me all though out the process. He NEVER, at once, asked to be compensated. He was just genuinely wanting to help me and my family. Mike and I are good friends til this day and I owe him so much. I still plan on learning more from him and I thank God for having a friend like Mike. read more

I highly recommend Tyke Appraisals to anyone looking to have their property appraised. Mr. Kozenko was very professional and had my appraisal done in a timely manner as I had time constraints and needed the appraisal done quickly. I also needed some vacant land in Wisconsin appraised and once again Mr. Kozenko stepped up and made sure that the appraisal was done in a proficient manner and at a great price when compared to other appraisers in the area. If you need an appraisal done quickly and at great price Mr. Kozenko is the man you need to speak too. read more

You can't go wrong going with Mike and Tyke. I used Tyke when selling my father's house and then my father-in-laws house. He was dead-on with his estimates.
