We've used So-Cal Quality Appraisals twice now for appraisals of my parents house. The first time…read morewe used him was to backdate the appraisal to the date of my mother's death. Steven took his time with both the home visit and with his research and was able to provide us with a solid appraisal. This was important to establish the value of the home in the case my father decided to sell his home as he now had a better baseline to reduce any capital gains tax. We recently used Steven again for an back dated appraisal to my father's death. Although Steven had a lot going on, he made the time to come out to do the appraisal while both myself and my sister were present. We received the second appraisal within a week and were very satisfied with the work he did. I highly recommend Steven for both his knowledge and service level. A+++++

She did an excellent job on giving an accurate appraisal on a house that needed a lot of work. The turn around time was great and we feel her appraisal was very accurate given the repairs needed.

I needed an IRS Qualified Appraisal/Appraiser to appraise a property under construction to move the…read moreproperty to a trust and to prepare for consideration in a charitable contribution. This required two different appraisals analyzing the property at two different points in time. Alan Fradkin was highly recommended by the Appraisal Institute for this work, and he was very familiar with the real estate market in the neighborhood of interest. He proved to be very capable to handle these complex appraisals, and he quickly adapted to my CPA's and the trust's needs. He performed the research and analysis of the condition of the property at two points in time, found sets of comparable properties to match each of those two points in time, and also worked to ensure that all the IRS requirements were handled as well. His great communication skills, attitude, work ethic, due diligence, and timeliness produced documents exactly to our needs. We will be planning to work with Alan in the future! Thank you, Alan!

I've known Cindy for years and have hired or recommended her for multiple appraisals. Cindy is the…read moredouble whammy...she's both a very good appraiser AND a professional. That means, she shows up to appointments on time and completes her appraisals in the amount of time she said she would. Cindy is open to input, but also does through due diligence on each property she appraises. As a Realtor, we rarely get contact with the people that appraise our transactions, but whenever a need for an appraiser exists outside of transaction, Cindy is the first person I call. Also, whenever we have a property that we're either unsure of the value of or unsure in how to approach valuing it, Cindy is the person I call. If you need an appraiser, especially in the South Bay of LA, make sure you give Cindy a call.

She is extremely knowledgable, professional and thorough in her work as well as being very understanding of the concerns of her client. Despite the more problematic aspects of our request, she completed her work quickly and efficiently, saving us time and stress.

I've never posted a review and been haunted by guilt for delaying in doing so. Gary appraised our home in a highly professional and personable manner.
