Kay Van Hoesen has been appraising locally since 1986. She is a certified real estate appraiser in South Carolina as well as FHA-approved. Kay is also a licensed real estate broker in South Carolina and a participating member of both the National Association of Realtors and the Coastal Carolinas Association of Realtors.

“Had it not been for Kay [Certifax founder], I would have undoubtedly left bag after bag of money on the table either as a buyer or seller.”

 

~ Attorney Scott Umstead, Myrtle Beach, SC

“Kay is a master appraiser … If you really want to know the market and value, you won’t find a better appraiser than Kay Van Hoesen.”

 

~ Tracey Magdeburg, President, A+ Appraising, Maggie Valley, NC

“I trust them so much, that whenever I’ve needed personal residential appraisals, I’ve always insisted on using Kay.”

 

~ Bill Hazen, Commercial Appraiser, Hazen Company & Associates, Myrtle Beach, SC

“They can simplify your life and save you from making some serious mistakes.”

 

~ Dave Brunko, President, Investors Mortgage Co., Myrtle Beach, SC

“She identified and successfully bid at auction [for us] on a condotel which throws off great cash flow and in addition would currently sell for in excess of $40,000 above what we paid less than 3 months ago.”

 

~ Sheldon, Investor Buyer, Philadelphia, PA

“Kay did everything and more that she promises on her website … saving us over $3,400 a year in property taxes.”
