I was born and raised in the greater Jackson metropolitan area. I attended St. Joseph High School, Hinds Community College as well as Belhaven College in Jackson. My major is business and I am very close to completing my degree via night school at Belhaven College.

I spent many years in the restaurant business with Pizza Hut and Subway (the last year in Sydney, Australia). I have been in the real estate appraisal business since 1996. I trained under a local MAI before starting my own business in November of 1997. Since that time, Haddon Appraisal Services, Inc. has become one of the more respected real estate appraisal firms in the Jackson metropolitan area. We work hard every day to maintain the reputation we have built for our company.

I am married to Lora Adams of Richland and we have two beautiful children (Adam who is 5 and Sarah who is 3.) We currently live in the Crossgates subdivision in Rankin County. My hobbies are radio controlled model boat racing and MSU athletics.

I encouraged all of our staff at Haddon Appraisal to write a brief bio about themselves as I wanted you, our clients, to have the opportunity to know a little more about the company you are trusting to represent you.

Thank you,

Neal Haddon
President.
