“I have been working with Eileen Coccia for nearly 20 years. She has done numerous appraisals for both me and my clients. As a CPA, I occasionally have the need for an appraiser to value assets in an estate. I have found Eileen to be fair, honest, very knowledgeable and diligent in her work. Eileen is my ‘go to’ appraiser. By referring her to my clients, which I have done on numerous occasions, I not only put her reputation on the line, I also put my reputation on the line.”
