What started as a seemingly reasonable quote quickly turned into one of the most frustrating vendor…read moreexperiences I've had in this industry. From start to finish, this company checked every box for how NOT to run a professional appraisal service. First, the delays. Getting the initial report took far longer than quoted with no proactive updates, no heads up, just radio silence until we had to chase them down ourselves. In a business where timelines directly impact transactions, that kind of lag is unacceptable. Then came the real surprise. When we requested an ARV addendum, a standard ask in investment real estate, suddenly the "reasonably priced" company we thought we hired disappeared. What followed was nothing short of price gouging. For what should be a straightforward addition to an already-completed report, we were hit with a fee that was completely out of line with industry norms. No justification, no transparency, just a number that felt more like a penalty than a service charge. And through all of it? Communication was terrible. Responses were slow, vague, and at times non-existent. We were left guessing at every stage of the process. In the end, we didn't receive any due courtesy. A good appraisal company understands that their clients operate under deadlines with real financial consequences. This one clearly does not. Between the delays, the poor communication, and the opportunistic fees, I cannot recommend them under any circumstances. There are too many competent, professional appraisers out there to waste your time and money here.

Our situation and needs were unquestionably challenging, but Sonja cheerfully and competently went above and beyond for us time and time again. She was so good in fact we hired her to also represent us for a sizeable and difficult real estate transaction as our Real Estate Agent (yes, she does that too). We then of course also asked her to please represent us for another home sale in the area as well. The homes all sold for close to what Sonja had initially appraised them for. I would not hesitate to hire Hillside Appraisal again, and I would recommend Sonja to anyone. It is service you can count on and a professional you can trust. The appraisals are accurate, timely and great... and the Real Estate Agency Services are even better. Above and Beyond. An easy 5-star review.

As the successor trustee to my dad's estate, and living out of town, I needed someone to help sell…read moreand clear his home prior to sale. There are a lot of things in life you only do once or twice, and the first time doing it can be a huge learning process because, well....it's your first time. A wedding, raising a child, buying your first home, picking your pokemon go team, etc. Well, going through your dad's home and preparing it for close of escrow is one of those things. THANK GOODNESS there are companies like Grasons Estate Sales. Initially, I reached out to my realtor to get their advice on what to do. They said they could help me find someone to just literally dump everything in my dad's house. It would have costed me $3500 to do so. But I thought that would be such a waste, as I wanted to sell or donate as much of the items as possible. That's where Grasons Estate Sales came in. Initial consult, they came through and looked through the home, explained their process, and gave their initial impressions. They come in a couple days ahead to prep the home...put up some tables to line up your items and stuff. Then, they run the estate sale in your home for a couple of days over the weekend and take a % of the sales. Then, they (optionally) can dump everything you don't want. Or, you can arrange something yourself. You just pay them for their time/labor. Essentially, you are using the proceeds from the sales to help offset the cost of clearing out the home. Turns out, I came out slightly ahead after everything was said and done! Imagine having to try to sell items by yourself. You know how flaky those Facebook marketplace people can be. It would take literally weeks/months to sell items yourself in the time Grasons Estate Sales took. So much time and headache averted! I'm totally satisfied with the job Grasons Estate Sales performed. As I mentioned earlier, I was out of town, so by the time the estate sale happened, I was already gone. So, we communicated via text for everything, and their PM, Sunshine, was on top of things to send me progress photos and receipts of the sold items. Oh, and they were honest enough to even tell me they found $7 in one of my dad's drawers, and returned that to me! Really chill and honest company. Couldn't recommended enough!
