The Keystone Story
In the journey of every narrative, there's a genesis. Ours unfolds in 1991, when Rick Kenny, MAI, SRA, started Kenny and Associates. With a clear vision centered on integrity and quality, he laid the groundwork for innovation over the course of several decades.
The Keystone Story
In 2022, we underwent a rebrand, emerging as Keystone Valuations, marking our commitment to driving change in the evolving appraisal landscape nationwide.
Our team thrives in an environment where camaraderie, humor, and innovation interlace seamlessly. Principles of integrity, respect, teamwork, excellence, and innovation form the bedrock of our culture, guiding every interaction and decision.
Our expertise spans diverse domains, from commercial appraisals and tax appeal work to government contracts, historic buildings, and mineral valuation. Each appraisal is a testament to our dedication to delivering nothing short of excellence, paired with industry-leading turn times.
As we embark on exciting growth initiatives this year, we eagerly welcome new members into our team. Together, we aim to continue redefining industry standards and empowering clients to make strategic, informed decisions about their investments and assets.
