    Fritz was an absolute dream to work with. From start to finish, he demonstrated a level of professionalism and competence that’s hard to come by. He’s not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in his field, but also incredibly approachable and easy to communicate with. Every interaction was smooth and pleasant—he was always quick to respond, clear in his explanations, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went perfectly. I truly appreciated his attention to detail, reliability, and positive attitude. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to others!

    Spoke with Fritz Cape on the phone, what a wonderful person to speak with. Ultimately, based on his own advice, he wasn’t able to help me for my exact situation. However, he could have easily done my appraisal, and taken money from me, and I would have found out the hard way, but he was upfront and honest about the process I needed to go through. There are still good businesses out there and at first impression, Fritz runs a honest business. Don’t hesitate to reach out for your appraisal needs/questions. Thanks again!

    I am an attorney from Illinois and needed a Wisconsin property appraised for a client. The property has some peculiar aspects and, also, some potential governmental, private entity, and commercial issues that made it difficult to find comparatives for evaluation. I searched on-line and found Cape Appraisal Service on Angi’s list. Next, I went on-line to see what others who had used Cape Appraisal were saying about the services received –e.g. google, etc. The reviews I found were all 5 stars and, in particular, gave special praise to Fritz Cape for his work product. I called Fritz and explained the project and engaged him to perform the appraisal. The Appraisal Report I received was one of the most professionally thorough and comprehensive I have seen. Fritz went the extra mile to establish the worth of the property but was more than willing to discuss the basis of the conclusions arrived at as well as suggestions on how the evaluation could be enhanced. I heartily recommend Fritz if you need a professional appraisal that is full, complete and able to stand legal scrutiny.

    Fritz was very through, provided me with an appraisal obtained by comparing home sales in today’s market which was well researched, as well as a walk through of the property, and he asked a lot of questions about improvements that were done. He was pleasant and easy to work with. I am very happy with the job he did.
