Zina Chilmark, owner of Chilmark Appraisal was hired by my credit union in Pasadena, to appraise my house In Paso Robles, for a home equity loan I applied for. I found it so amazing that a local appraiser was contacted by Wescom Credit Union hundreds of miles away. What was great was that Zina knows the market up here and was familiar with the community I live in. If I ever sell, she is the person I will contact to give me an appraisal at that time that will give me or my family the proper selling price point. She was down to earth, explaining the documents she needed to see, which were documents I had never looked at 3 years ago after I purchased this house. She is so easy to work with, which is a huge plus. Thank you Zina. read more
