He was rude, condescending, and acted like a pompous father reprimanding his child. My only regret was not kicking him out of my house and insisting the mortgage company find a new appraiser. Despite his rudeness, the appraisal was good and accurate. So, I guess he can do good work, but he definitely needs a lesson in people skills.

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!

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.
