Credentials

Matt Oleksiak has long had a passion—and a keen eye—for automobiles. From the moment he laid a mitten on his grandfather’s VW Beetle to purchasing his first new (to him) car, a 1983 Mustang GT, Matt knew cars would be a driving force in his life.

Following his distinguished military service and a successful business career in sales and management, he founded Perry-Payne Appraisal to serve owners and buyers of antique, classic, special-interest, and everyday vehicles. The business brings together several of his key strengths: detailed observation skills, general automotive knowledge, and formal training. Matt is uniquely able to translate this aptitude into fact-based, cogent communication to benefit his customers.

Perry-Payne’s Territory

We operate primarily throughout Ohio, Eastern Indiana and Western Pennsylvania. However, in certain circumstances, we are able to travel out of the primary area to service other geographies as necessary. And we do offer services remotely on a case-by-case basis.

Perry-Payne’s Mission

Perry-Payne Appraisal combines years of business experience and automotive knowledge to discern credible, unbiased results for its clients. As a veteran-owned business, we’re comfortable with managing tight deadlines. We’re confident in our abilities and experience and dedicated to client satisfaction. We’re flexible, agile and collaborative. We have a strong work ethic and possess an entrepreneurial spirit – this promotes a clear vision to surmount any potential obstacles.

Worth its weight in expertise

There is often a lot riding on a professional appraisal report. You may be required to produce one for estate planning, charitable contributions, estate or gift tax preparation liabilities, insurance or damage and loss claims, equitable distributions, fair rental and sale decisions, collateral loans, tax audits (foundations), and legal disputes. This is not the time to pinch pennies and settle for an amateur.
