Ran was awesome. Punctual. He did great work and explained what he was doing. And answered any questions we had. Highly recommended.

Ran was very professional and helpful to my family with an appraisal. I also appreciated the fast turnaround. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an appraisal. read more

Ran came out on short notice and performed a complete floorplan sketch of a 4 level home with questionable home size on the tax assessor page. His determination of size helped me to use proper square footage for preparing comps for a seller of a house, which put the value another $800,000+ over other comps compared with realtors who did not bother to do their homework. I am very thankful for his responsiveness and professionalism! Thank you again Ran for a superb job! read more

Thank you Ran as we were so pleased with your appraisal service. You were efficient and highly professional. We needed an appraisal for a value over 15 years ago and are very grateful for your expertise in creating a very detailed evaluation that clearly represented the subject property's value at that time. You are a gem. read more

I needed a time of death evaluation for my home from a date in 2003. In researching companies which did this type of report, I found OR Valuation service. I spoke with Ran and was impressed with what he had to say as well as his ability to provide me with this evaluation in a very timely manner. The result of his efforts and running comps resulted in a extremely detailed, comprehensive report. I am very happy with his service, price, professional approach and highly recommend him for any report you may need for your home. read more

Ran is an excellent appraiser. He is very diligent, fast, professional and super friendly. And his fee is very modest. I highly recommend him. read more

I was designate by my father, who passed away about 2 months ago, as the trustee if his estate. That has involved a LOT of work, dealing with everything from bank accounts and his old clothes, but also dealing with the two properties he owned (his home and half the home my mom still lives in) I learned that, as Trustee, one of the things I needed to have done was to have these houses formally appraised by a licensed appraiser. But honestly, I had no idea where to start looking for one, but I wanted a straight shooter, and someone who knew what they were doing (not someone who just started out in the business). So I turned to Yelp and Google...and thank goodness I found Ran William, owner of OR Valuation Services! After reading the reviewers, and also checked out his website, and was very impressed by the endorsements from respected long-term realtors, (as well as the fact that he's apparently done something like 7,500+ appraisals!) So I gave Ran a call, and he picked up right away. I explained who I was, and what I needed, and he understood exactly (apparently a lot of the work he does as an appraiser is for Trusts and Estates). I described the two properties, and their locations (in completely different parts of LA) and Ran gave me a quote for each over the phone. The quote was very reasonable, compared to the amount various friends told me to expect, so I was pleasantly surprised by that. I called Ran on a Friday, and by Sunday I had already met him at my dads houses and he inspected/revised that first of the two houses. By Tuesday he sent me the formal final appraisal of my dad's house, and that same day I met him at the other house for its inspection/review. Just three days later, I received the final appraisal for the second house. So, basically -- thanks entirely to Ran's great work and explanations of what he was doing -- I went from being clueless about the process and who to call, to having both appraisals completed....IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK! Ran was very polite, and clearly VERY knowledgeable about appraisals. I was so thankful that he was able to come do the on-site inspections so quickly, and even more pleasantly surprised at how quickly he was able to provide a complete, professional looking, and accurate appraisal on the two homes. I don't know how often I will actually need an appraiser, but I would ABSOLUTELY hire Ran & OR Valuation Services in heartbeat if I did need an appraisal. I'm pretty sure he also does appraisals of things other than properties, so I may yet give him a call about some other things I need to have formally valued. I HIGHLY recommend OR Valuation Services if you need an appraisal...if you're looking for one, call Ran....you definitely won't be sorry. read more

I scheduled a home property appraisal with Ran because my mother recently passed away and we needed to get a date-of-death appraisal for her estate administration and it had to be done by a licensed and certified appraiser as soon as possible. I had seen the other reviews of OR Valuation Services and Ran Williams on Yelp and they looked good, so I requested a quote. His price was much less than that quoted to me by the appraiser my mother's Trust attorney's office had recommended I use, and Ran's report turn-around time was much faster. He sounded knowledgeable and experienced when I spoke with him on the phone, so I made an appointment. Ran came out and did the inspection around the outside of the house and then inside as well. He took photos and asked questions as needed and everything went very smoothly. He was also very understanding about the fact that there was quite a bit of clutter inside the house because I have been trying to clear stuff out and organize things to donate after my mother's death. I felt a little embarrassed about it, but Ran was so nice about it and compassionate and knew what I was going through. He totally put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. He was objective and able to see the house for what it is despite the mess and came up with a fair valuation compared to similar houses in our area. When Ran left he said that he would have the report done and e-mailed to me on Monday (appraisal was done on a Wednesday) which seemed totally reasonable. In fact, I received his e-mail and report on Sunday night, even earlier than he had promised. And he sent a copy via e-mail directly to the Trust attorney's office for me which save me time. I really appreciated him getting his very thorough and extensive report done so quickly for us. This is just one more thing I can now cross off the long list of stuff I have to do for the estate administration. It's so refreshing to meet someone who acts professionally and follows through on exactly what they say they will do. Kinda rare these days. Thank you, Ran! read more

I had a wonderful experience with this company. Their response and turn around time is incredible. The appraiser was professional and respectful of my property. He made sure all my questions were answered and made himself available if I had questions later on. When I received my report he also took time to answer question regarding the report. I work in real estate and have dealt with many appraisers and can confidently say this company definitely goes above and beyond. read more

We had Ran perform an inspection twice on 2 different houses we were considering purchasing. He was so thorough and truly took his time to inspect both houses. His reports are so detailed and easy to understand for someone that is not familiar in this industry. He is extremely knowledgeable in the codes and regulations. Even the one if the homeowners were impressed by him and took his card to use his services on the home they are purchasing. Ran came highly recommended by several people and I will definitely be referring him to others. read more

Ran at OR Valuation did a fantastic job! On time, professional, great communication! I have 27 years in the mortgage and real estate industry, and I highly recommend this business! read more

Ran William...my new go-to appraiser. He will be added to my professional network of affiliates and I would highly recommend him to any of my colleagues. We as Realtors don't often have a choice when it comes to bank appraisers, however, on the occasion that I do need an independent appraiser, Ran's my Man! Julie Mahoney read more

Thank you so much for your knowledge and helping us with the home inspection The robot in the crawl space reveal the leak in the plumbing save us so much money Definitely use you again , Thank you read more

OR Valuation did a fantastic job with the appraisal for our house -- and this is coming from someone who's family has been in the Real Estate industry for 30 years! Having an Appraiser come take a look at one's house can be intimidating, since you've got a stranger poking around in every nook and cranny! However, Ran was mindfully nice, polite, and fast (while still performing an utterly thorough examination of our property)! His appraisal was accurate and concise (in therms of description and comparisons), he took very good photographs, AND at a very competitive price for his services! This business came very highly recommended, and for good reason -- I'm therefore very pleased to extend the recommendation! read more

These guys saved me! OR Valuation Services came to the rescue when I had a really bad experience with another appraisal. Ran William found tons of mistakes in the first appraisal and was able to appraise my house for way more. These guys are fast, efficient and couldn't have been nicer. A huge thank you! read more

Awsome work Ran! Took his time and looked at every detail. He also gave pointers on things which was nice since he's in the field. Very friendly yet professional definitely recommend him read more

Great, great service on a 70 year-old house. I tagged alone and Ran was very thorough and explained all his concerns in details. Report is intuitive. Great robot in action too :-) read more

Ran Williams did a great job. We found a home we liked that appeared to not need any work. His inspection found some very significant things we would never have believed. We used him one home that we had an offer on that had WAY too many problems found from his reporting. Luckily, we found another home shortly after and we used Ran again. He was gracious enough to not charge us for the second home. A huge thank you, to Ran and OR Valuation Services! read more

Our agent recommended Ran for the inspection of the home we were purchasing. We arrived at the property towards the end of his inspection and he took his time to walk us through and educate us on the findings (as we were first-time home buyers). His inspection was very thorough and well-recorded. Super nice guy. Written report was promptly created and sent to us via email in much more detail with pictures and recommendations. read more

Professional, efficient, fair and a pleasure to have done business with. Great experience overall.

Ran did an excellent job and exceeded my expectations. He was extremely thorough, fast and service was priced well. He even followed up with numerous questions I had about cost repairs estimates. He's an experienced flipper so he can answer questions accurately. read more

Ran did a great job and I felt a very good value. He was personable and timely in his work. I would recommend his services.

Just had a phone conversation with Ran William...he was very helpful and took his time explaining some of the things involved in a home appraisal. Will be sure to use him. read more

I wasn't there for the inspection, but my husband told me Ran did a great job. Very thorough. Very helpful. Was available in the time frame we needed, and provided his very detailed inspection only hours later. Separated items that needed attention to items that we should be mindful of. Quality service. Even my realtor said she would definitely refer him to her other clients. Hands down would use for another inspection. A+++! read more

So thankful I called Ran at OR Valuation services. I had both an appraisal and inspection performed and am extremely satisfied with his service. Ran is a friendly honest guy that doesn't have the salesperson mentality most people in this business have (tell you your home has a fake problem and refer you to their buddy to make money). His prices were fair and he was easy to do business with. He pointed out a couple things most inspectors wouldn't even bat an eye at and told me the truth. His crawl space robot is pretty awesome as it can access parts of your crawl space people can't to give a more accurate evaluation. His appraisal report was 25 pages long and extremely in depth. His inspection report was 35 pages long for a 3 bedroom 1400 square foot house. This is better than any building department inspection I've ever seen. He pointed out any critical hazards and things that weren't a hazard but things I should pay attention to in the future. Thanks again! read more

Ran was awesome! He completed a thorough inspection of the property before I arrived on site. Once I got there early in the morning, he was finishing up and walked me through the house to point out certain things. Everything was written in the inspection report and delivered to me by email on the same day! Ran had started working on the inspection at 6:30am. Early bird gets the worm. He's friendly, thorough, and gave good recommendations. I also learned that he's a certified appraiser too! read more

I found Ran Williams here on Yelp and I strongly, enthusiastically vouch for his fantastic service. I used another inspector (also found on Yelp) who I also thought was terrific, but that was until I experienced Ran and his extremely thorough work and report. I also used him at the same time to appraise the property, and I can't imagine anyone doing a better job in these two categories than he did. He answered a ton of questions and was exceedingly generous with his time - you honestly need not look any further. read more
