My Qualifications

As a State Certified Residential Appraiser (license level AR), I am licensed to appraise all types of residential properties for any purpose including, purchase, refinance, trust, taxes, estate planning, trust issues, divorce, historical dates of value and partial interest valuations. I have extensive experience evaluating, consulting and appraising single-family, multi-family, condominiums, mobile homes, proposed construction, vacant land, luxury homes, historic homes, and more. I am FHA approved and have also served as an expert witness in State Superior Court and Bankruptcy Courts in California.

I focus on providing thorough research and analysis based on real-world situations, as well as understanding the beneficiary’s position and intended use of each report. This allows me to provide honest, reasonable and objective appraisals that meet your needs.

Please note: for a residential property with greater than four units, depending on the purpose of the appraisal, you may need a commercial appraiser or general appraiser (license level AG) to appraise that property. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy help.
