FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Fees depend on the property type, size, location, and purpose of the appraisal (for example estate, divorce, or pre-listing). I give you a clear flat fee up front before we schedule, with no hidden charges. Payment is accepted by credit card, check, cash, or Zelle.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1) We talk about the property and why you need the appraisal, and I quote a flat fee. 2) We schedule the inspection at a time that works for you. 3) I inspect the property, measure it, and photograph the interior and exterior. 4) I research comparable sales and complete the report. 5) You receive a signed, USPAP-compliant appraisal report by email, and I'm available to answer questions afterward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a California Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser (License AR043509), on the HUD FHA Appraiser Roster, and a licensed California real estate salesperson. I hold a B.S. in Business Management from Western Governors University and complete continuing education to stay current with USPAP and appraisal standards.
