The appraisal of her house was important so that I could move forward in settling her estate. Rich was very compassionate to the recent loss of my grandmother and he completed the appraisal quickly. He was flexible to my hectic schedule, his rates were very affordable, and made me feel comfortable during the entire process. Rich has a lot of knowledge about the Sacramento Valley area and completed a very thorough appraisal report that he was able to email to me for my convenience and records. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

I contacted Amber to appraise my neighbor's home. After flaking on the first meeting, she showed…read moreup, looked around, and we paid her reasonable rate. She was friendly and seemed capable. She initially said the appraisal would take a few days, but it ended up taking almost a month and repeated contacts. Unfortunately, she accidentally appraised my property, instead of the address I had requested (in writing and in person). When I informed her of the error, she refused to either refund me or appraise the correct property. I ended up having to take her to small claims court to get a refund, where we won a judgment for the full amount plus expenses. She was extremely rude in court. I would avoid her at all costs.

I'm selling my home and there was a discrepancy in the square footage that in essence cost me 4k. I…read morewanted a piece of mind considering the home had appraised at the larger square footage when I purchased it and it was on record at the higher number when the prior owners purchased it. Gary came out and was super personable. He explained everything to me and measured the home fairly quickly. The outcome was that the house was truly smaller than what was listed when I purchased it. Not much I can do about it but again, gave me a peace of mind with the updated measurements. Glad I was referred to California Home Appraisals and now I can comfortably move forward with the close of sale.

My family found ourselves in a confusing situation concerning some property after my mom passed…read more Basically, it was time to sell our childhood home for our disabled elderly dad who could no longer live there. The main issue was how to muddle through the tax laws and see if he qualified for the "Step-up in Basis" help for surviving spouses. Fortunately, our family tax advisor referred us to Jeff Hamric of Sacramento Appraisal Group. We had kind of put things off and waited until the last minute. But Mr. Hamric was available right when we needed him. Especially since this is a time sensitive situation! It was necessary for us to find a State Certified Real Estate Appraiser (SCREA) to come to our rescue. We gave him the information needed, and he went right to work researching on how much my parent's properties were worth on the day my mom passed. Then, they gave us complete itemized reports that included photos of the homes, residential appraisals, certification pages, market analysis charts, location maps, value analysis, and an appraisal compliance addendum. Never did I realize how much effort and detail was needed for the circumstances we were in! The real estate agent we were dealing with had never even heard of the "Step-up in basis" tax clause! I'm so glad that my knowledgeable tax advisor, Anthony Wright, was on the ball and helped get us through this difficult time in our lives! And another big thank you to Jeff Hamric for his professionalism and expertise as an appraiser extraordinaire!

The appraiser that came to the property was there for 5 minutes and was clearly stoned. Where do they find these guys? A rehab facility??? Even though there have been several sales on my street in the last 6 months, not one was used as a comp. Instead, they pulled comps from 2 miles away in a far less desirable location and a totally different school district. I highly recommend you DO NOT use this atrocious company!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree with the other review - this company is a joke. They not only undervalue real…read moreestate, they make blatant errors in their appraisals and then refuse to acknowledge or correct them when they are pointed out. Their attitude is so poor that the bank I was using said they would no longer work with them. I had the misfortune of having Chris Clark as an appraiser. Her method of doing the appraisal seemed to be find the lowest REO comps available and find ways to say your home is worth less than them. For some reason she believes that an obstructed view of a hill is worth almost $40,000 more than a clear view of downtown San Francisco and Oakland. Worse than that, she was so heads down she completely missed that the house had a view at all. Then, after filing a very well documented and supported appeal with C&D, they refused to reconsider or even acknowledge they made a mistake. Basically a horrible company that is too arrogant to admit mistakes and is more concerned with covering their @$$e$ than giving honest appraisals. If you have any choice in who does the appraisal for your real estate deal, stay far away from C&D.

These guys are a joke. Real estate appraisers, like nearly everyone else in the real estate…read morebusiness, are terrified now because of all the blunders they have made over the past few years. Now they are so timid they undervalue everything so much it's just ridiculous. In my case, Russell Hitomi from C&D knew the price that needed to come in to make the deal work, and he came in stupidly low but still high enough to get it done. It shows that he doesn't really understand the value of real estate, and is more afraid of protecting his a** than actually estimating a true value.
