After a recent death in the family, it was suggested to get my father's house appraised. After…read moresearching around the internet, I came across So-cal Quality Appraisals. The reviews for them looked good so after a brief phone conversation with Steve, I decided to go forward with them to appraise the property. Steve showed up exactly on time and explained exactly what he would be doing in detail. Now, I don't have any experience getting an appraisal done, so this was all new to me but Steve went over everything in detail, taking pictures of all the rooms, measuring exact dimentions of the house, etc. Steve was very professional & courteous. He explained everything to me in a way I could understand easily which was really appreciated. I would highly recommend Steve at So-cal Quality Appraisals and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

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+++++

The good: I was able to make an appointment with Paul within two weeks of calling. He showed up…read moreearly and got started right away. Unfortunately, he did not get my proposal to me on time. I had to request it a couple of times and finally received it over 3-weeks later. The bad: His appraisal came in really low. The house is in great shape, remodeled and received two comps from two separate Realtors that were shocked by his proposal. He was way off and I'd be a fool if I used his numbers. The house could have been cleaner at the time; but we were in the middle of packing. Still a trained eye should be able to overlook it; especially when he is supposed to look at sq footage, upgrades, the area and comparable sales. It felt like a stab in the dark with his number. I made the request that he re-evaluate and consider raising his appraisal to at least the mid-upper range from the eight market comparisons provided within the 3/4-mile radius. On two separate occasions he said he just got back in and would get back to me. He never did and I finally gave up on this guy. This appraisal was a waste of time and money and would go elsewhere for your appraisal needs.

My own insurance undervalued my vehicle, they didn't care what I had to say, they didn't care what proof of value I had. Progressive sent me a list of comps that were not comps at all, it was a list of 2wd vehicle ( my car was 4wd ) they didn't care what I said or how I said it. I was frustrated, mentally exhausted and becoming overwhelmed by it all. On a Saturday evening I sent provalue a message, they responded quickly and asked me to send my files over to them and they would look at it on Monday morning, I did and Henry called me around noon on Monday and told me I was right, I deserved more, and he would get it for me. It sounded too good to be true, it wasn't. When it was all said and done, thanks to provalue I ended up with 4k more in my bank account, THIS IS AFTER PAYING PROVALUE'S FEES 4k more, its a huge improvement, it makes a difference. I should have contacted ProValue right away, I wasted weeks thinking Progressive would fight for me.....well Progressive didn't fight for me, Progressive didn't make it right, But PROVALUE DID FIGHT FOR ME Thank you to the ProValue team!

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!
