ABOUT US
Beyond Value, Inc. is a corporation founded in 2003 by Leigh Budlong,
a seasoned real estate analyst, part-time home remodel aficionado, writer

Our company has two departments: brokerage and appraisal. To avoid any potential conflict, as a
company policy, we will not handle both types of service for the same
property and/or for the same client.
Our hours of business are Tuesday – Friday, 9 am to 5 pm.
We are closed annually from December 23-January 2nd.
