My wife and I recently hired Northstar Appraisal Services to provide a replacement cost estimate of…read moreour house, for insurance purposes (homeowner's and earthquake policies, for our own benefit -- so that we would know that we had done our best to accurately estimate how much coverage we need, to make sure we have enough).

We will retain them again when we revisit this issue in a few years.

Retail for used jewelry is quite different. What you paid back in the day, what it's worth to replace, what it's worth to insure.

Inherited jewelry is a lot about the memory of a loved one. Thanks for your assistance!

I wanted to shed some light on the Leti B review. We are going thru a divorce and have 2 properties…read moreto sell or divide. I asked a real estate agent to give me a fair market analysis so I would get an idea what they were worth. He did and explained that there was not too many homes exactly like ours to compare with. But, did the best he can. He advised me that the best thing to do was to hire an Appraiser Just like the banks do. So I hired this service. I explained that it was for a divorce but did not say who wants to get what. I wanted an honest appraisal. When I got my files jennifer also mentioned that the comparables sold in the area were not exactly like ours. She said her quotes were fair on both properties. That's all I could ask for. I gave the report to Leti B. and she did not like the numbers. I told her to hire another appraiser, but I guess she didn't want to. Like a month later she tells me that a couple real estate agents told her that the numbers were not right. She gave me a print out of comparables used by an agent and when I looked them up... they were not like our properties. That's the same thing she's complaining about in her review. We all have to understand that the housing market changes frequently. I know that what a property is worth today.. may not be what it's worth a month from now. I don't understand why Lety B. Thinks she knows more than an appraiser of almost 20 yrs. I think Jennifer did a good job. She's professional, on time and thorough. I would definite recommend her.

She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and helpful, asked us all appropriate questions. She also answered all questions to the matters that we were not particularly familiar with. She really did an amazing job by providing an accurate and detailed report in a timely manner. I had her use photos from the MLS. The fee was reasonable for the quality of work she had provided. It was all done within a week. I would strongly recommend her to anyone for such professional service!

If an appraiser can't even get the zoning right, nothing else in the report can be relied on…read more Mine listed the zoning as "R-4: MULTIPLE," a classification San Diego eliminated decades ago. Both appraisals I received (as-is and hypothetical pre-damage) contained major factual errors, missing features, inconsistent comps, and a hypothetical report that still included real-world damage. Every significant mistake pushed the value downward rather than reflecting the correct zoning (RM-2-5 + Transit Priority Area + Complete Communities Tier 3 FAR). The reports valued my property at $1.53M-$1.58M, even though the correct redevelopment zoning supports a realistic land value in the $6.4M-$7.4M range. In a city where a home is often the largest investment a person will ever make, accuracy matters. Review reports carefully.

It was a true pleasure to work with Vickie Adams. I contacted her after the passing of my Aunt to…read morehelp handle her estate. I had called several appraisers in the area and she was the first one to get back to me. I immediately had a level of comfort with her. She was professional and incredibly experienced but easy to talk to. She was willing to travel all the way to my aunt's property, about 45 miles away-- but can be several hours in traffic (thank you, Southern California!) Vicky handled my aunt's large estate with such care. My aunt and I were incredibly close and Vickie was working with very valuable family heirlooms-- that, at first, I was nervous for anyone to touch. Vickie was extremely professional and I had complete trust in her to handle these precious items. She provided a very thorough report-- and our estate attorney said it was one of the best reports she'd seen by far-- I think she's even recommending Vickie to her other clients now. This process was stressful and overwhelming at times, but we are so grateful for Vickie for taking so much of the stress off our shoulders. She has our highest recommendation and more importantly, our trust.
