I picked Capital Appraisal Service to do a rather complicated real estate appraisal. It was necessary to determine the value of a home in Seattle on the day of death which was 6 months prior. Also I live in California, which made it harder. Robert went out to the home, picked up the key from a neighbor, and did the appraisal. I've had appraisals done before where they give a price. However his appraisal was much more thorough, 12 pages long, with photos. It enabled us to price the home correctly, and in fact the home sold with no glitches. I highly recommend Capital Appraisal Service for anyone that needs to know the value of their home, particularly if the home will be sold. Knowing the market value gives the seller peace of mind that the home is competitively priced. Also once an offer is accepted, there is no worry that the house won't appraise for the selling price. Robert's experience led us to price the home thousands higher than our realtor suggested. I was so satisfied, that I had him appraise a lot on the Green River in Auburn. It was difficult because it is a one of a kind property. It was covered with blackberry bushes and I couldn't even walk down to the river. Somehow, Robert walked off, measured and photographed the whole lot. Not only did I get another long appraisal, but he also got vital information about the local requirements for building, septic tanks, and environmental issues. It saved me many hours of research. I've been in contact with Robert several times over the weeks since then, asking questions, getting clarifications. He always responds back quickly. read more
