Hi, I’m Tony Bylina, certified residential appraiser with Trautman Real Estate Appraisal Services. With close to 10 years of experience,  I take pride in helping homeowners, buyers, and lenders navigate the complexities of property valuation with confidence and clarity.

Based in Chicago, I specialize in providing accurate and reliable appraisals tailored to the unique characteristics of each home. Whether it’s assessing market value for a sale, refinance, or investment, I’m passionate about offering insights that make the process smoother and less stressful for my clients.

When I’m not analyzing market trends or measuring living areas, you can usually find me camping with my family, working on my mobility and strength, playing a round of golf, or just fetch with my dog. I also enjoy giving back to the community through my local zoning commission, dads and daughters group, and business networking group. 

At Trautman Real Estate Appraisal Services, my goal is to deliver more than just numbers—I strive to build trust and relationships that last beyond a single transaction. Let’s connect and see how I can assist with your appraisal needs!
