Recently LaJoel Lovett, owner of Brymar Appraisals, completed an appraisal of my father's home after his death. This appraisal was a bit tricky because 1) it was a "date of death" appraisal, 2) an older home w/o recent updates located in Upper Rockridge, and 3) a death occurred in the home. The other appraisers I contacted did not want to do the appraisal due to the home's potential stigma which could significantly impact the value. LaJoel completed the appraisal in a very thorough, professional, and timely manner. The CPA who reviewed the report also complimented the quality of the report.
LaJoel is very knowledgeable and experienced in residential appraisals. I appreciate that he will write a solid report and does not "sell" values or give a property a value that cannot be adequately justified. Additionally, as the Broker/Owner of a real estate & property management company in the Bay Area, I have referred and recommended Brymar many times. All of the Agents, lenders, buyers, etc who I have referred him to have said they would use him again if/when the need arises. I will continue to recommend LaJoel to anyone who I meet or hear about looking for an appraisal. read more
