I can't say enough about Gary and his company! I not only needed a current appraisal for my home but also a retroactive one from a decade before for my records for tax purposes. He was thorough, honest and took his time preparing both of these documents. Always responsive and clear. i am glad I chose him for these projects. read more

This review is being written several months after my property was appraised by Gary (I confess to being a serious procrastinator). I've never posted a review and been haunted by guilt for delaying in doing so. Gary appraised our home in a highly professional and personable manner. You will never find a nicer guy who has this degree of expertise. He was a wealth of information. I was highly satisfied with his service and my only regret (aside for my delay) is that I only had one property to be appraised by him. He is a pleasure to work with. read more

Gary Terzyan very professional and careful in his appraisal . I would highly recommend.

Gary did a great job on a retrospective DOD appraisal on my family home in the Hollywood Hills. The neighborhood did not have a lot of recent comparable sales so he made a great effort in finding the best and most appropriate comps for the report. The report was very professional and you can tell a lot of time was spent in it making. Overall, he is very personable, knowledgeable and a great communicator. Would highly recommend! read more

Gary and his staff are amazing. We have a multi-family apartment property with multiple owners so it was a bit messy at times. And we live in different states. Gary walked us through every step and made the process as painless as possible even when we owners were disagreeing. I highly recommend them to appraise property in the San Gabriel valley. read more

I needed an appraisal of my Father's property after his passing. The appraisal was a legal document required as part of the Estate Living Trust to value the property at the time of his death. I contacted Gary Terzyan at All Star Appraisals and he immediately provided an overview of his work and what he could do for me. Gary was very attentive, came out to evaluate the property and had a comprehensive report ready in a very timely manner. His fee is very competitive with other appraisal firms but his customer service and friendly personality is by far one of the best. I highly recommend All Star Appraisals. read more

All Star Appraisals led by Gary Terzyan are knowledgeable professionals with the highest standards. Gary knows the market and the business; he's thorough and accurately details the property he is evaluating. Courteous, honest and with the highest integrity. I highly recommend Gary Terzyan and All Star Appraisals. read more

Gary is fantastic. Even if he can't help you, he will spend time talking to you to recommend the best options he knows. It's rare to see people who care. read more

Gary was very professional and responsive. His report was completed in a timely manner and was very thorough. He was very accommodating and understanding when there was a billing issue on my end. I would highly recommend him and his services. Thank you Gary for all your help! read more

The report Gary prepared for me was comprehensive. He when beyond what I would have expected to compile the necessary data. He turned the request around promptly. And at a reasonable cost. read more

Working with Gary is the most outstanding experience ever. He was very thorough and complete with the review of my property. Gary spent approximately 90 minutes and took a full inspection and found equally comparable homes in my neighborhood which he also took time in reviewing local schools and parks in the area. His review takes time but the documentation and numbers are done on a solid review of both the construction, area and the neighborhood facilities that makes our home appraisal very accurate. His company is a prime example of what would be expected in an appraisal and I would suggest his service to anyone for a confident and solid appraisal. H. Allen read more

If I could give Gary 100 stars, I would. We were recommended by our pool construction company, Athlon, due to a messy permit situation over an appraisal needed to finish our outdoor patio. The city was requiring us to get an appraisal on a new post and beam and wanted a la cart costs for the area- something we had never heard of. Gary took it upon himself to stay late, take our calls, asked to be on the email, and was ultimately the one who told the city that the appraisal was unnecessary (due to a 2018 appraisal) and that the space was not an issue and work was under cost. I would highly recommend using Gary if you need appraisal services. He is easy to work with and extremely professional and knowledgeable about San Gabriel Valley homes. Thank you, Gary!! read more

Without hesitation, I would hire Gary again to conduct an appraisal. In our most recent experience, we bought the home directly from the owner, without the involvement of a realtor. Gary's appraisal was just meticulous. He scrutinized the most recent sales in the area and based his appraisal on the comparables with greatest attention to detail. He misses nothing and takes the time to explain outcomes and the entire process. Whether you are the seller or owner of a home or a buyer, Gary is the professional to hire! read more

Gary helped me figure out the appraisal process and what to expect without making me feel pressured to use his services. He seems like a very honest knowledgeable guy! Thank you ! read more

We got our appraisal with Gary done a few weeks ago. My family had a really unique situation in which to two family members owned 50% of the house each and one of the families was going to buy out the other side. Because each side of the family cares a lot about the other, we wanted to make sure that the value of the house was determined as fairly as possible. We found Gary as a completely 3rd party person in our situation. He understood our situation and was very professional. Rather than pulling just a few comps he pulled almost triple the amount that he normally does in order to get his accurate a value as he could. That was also because our house didn't have many similar to it in the area. He was professional and trustworthy to work with. His turnaround time was fast. I highly recommend him. read more

I have never met Gary in person but I had a very smooth transaction with him. One of my residential properties has become a rental and since my two years are almost up, I wanted to lock in my Section 121 exclusion while I can still claim it as a personal residence. So I formed an LLC to essentially sell the property to myself. Since this a is a "related party" transaction, to cover my bases and due diligence, and also with the heightened standard of care, I wanted to get an appraisal. Gary was very quick with his responses and quote. I appreciated his initial professionalism so I went with him. Gary informed me that his appointments are always scheduled two weeks in advance so that's what I did. Unfortunately, I had a last minute business trip out of town but Gary was fine to do the appraisal by himself. The appraisal report was also completed very quickly, within ~3 business days of the walkthrough. The appraised value unfortunately was far lower than I had hoped from my perusals of Zillow and Redfin but hey, if we can all just name our price, we wouldn't need independent appraisers for anything right? I would not hesitate to use Gary again. I appreciate his communication, promptness, and ethical conduct. read more

Gary and his team did an amazing job on two very distinct properties for us. It was not a problem that they were in two different counties and he was a pleasure to work with. The reports we received were incredibly detailed and highly professional-exactly what we needed. Thank you, Gary!!! read more

I contacted all star appraisals to ask a few questions. Gary got back to me quickly, answered all my questions, and provided great information. He went above and beyond! Thank you so much, Gary. I appreciate your time and expertise. read more

We had our house appraised for a refi a couple weeks ago. Gary was polite and friendly from the beginning. He was very flexible to my schedule, which is extremely appreciated being a mommy of two with a full time job AND during the holidays. He was very thorough in his inspection, asking pertinent questions when indicated and taking photos throughout the house and property. He also was receptive and appreciative of the documents I gave him showing our recent remodel and updates to the house (not necessary but always helpful!) as well as old permits I had handy. All in all, he was here about 1 hour. Gary was quick to answer calls, texts and emails. He was also kind enough to make some suggestions on what would be beneficial for us to do in the future that would increase the value of our home (I asked for this after the appraisal was done and he again was very prompt and thorough!). We were very happy with our final outcome and would highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for appraisal services. read more

We were very satisfied with their work. Very courteous and professional. They did two appraisals for us.

Gary was just great. He was patient and understanding and absolutely did his best to help me with a complicated appraisal matter that dealt with probate. I never post reviews, but Gary was such a pleasure to work with that I felt that this was a business that truly deserved a great rating and review. Thank you Gary! Alven S. read more

It was a pleasure working with Gary. He appraised my parents' home in Rosemead. Gary communicates well, was very responsive and kept me informed. He was prompt, extremely polite, and professional. His pricing is reasonable and I would recommend him without reservation! read more

Gary recently performed an assessment of our family home. Every aspect of Gary's work is outstanding. His survey of our home was comprehensive. This was reflected in his final appraisal report. It was 35 pages long and highly detailed. The report included a detailed comparable property analysis, which included six separate properties, with location maps and photographs. All in all, I was very happy with Gary's work. He is a consummate gentleman and I would not hesitate to recommend him. read more

Great job. VERY thorough and really on top of the local market. My highest recommendation.

He's attentive to the details and listens to the project scope of work to be able to give the most accurate and fair appraisal. I appreciate his hard work and rapid turnaround. On top of that, he's a very genuine person which makes the appraisal process less nerve recking. Highly recommend. read more

My siblings, father and I needed a retrospective drive by appraisal for tax purposes because we sold the house after my mother passed in 2017. Gary is very knowledgeable and patiently spoke to me extensively on the phone about how this all works and what to expect. He completed the report within a short amount of time and it was very thorough. When dealing with these stressful affairs, you always hope to come across a professional who has this sort of kind and skillful demeanor. Thank you Gary! Would strongly recommend All Star Appraisals to anyone! read more

I was pleasantly surprised with them. Gary was extremely professional, friendly, communicative and had a lot of good tips and information ahead of time that where crucial for a good solid appraisal... i didn't have a few things the way they should be and he advices ahead of time to make sure i took are of those pointers . He then went above and beyond following up with the city on a few discrepancies, since we have a very old house, and needless to say, he saved us a lot of headaches by doing all of this himself. thank you! read more

Gary is very helpful. I told him I need an appraisal report by Sunday night. Despite it is not his working time, he's still in his office and work until 9 pm. He was not leaving his office until he made sure I was satisfied with his report. Definitely I will recommend him to others. read more

Gary was in touch with the local market trends and delivered timely service. He showed up on time and was very detailed in taking measurements and inspecting the complete property. He delivered the PDF version of the completed appraisal a day ahead of schedule and hand delivered a signed original upon request. I will definitely use Gary in the future. As a Real Estate Broker we are always on the lookout for professional local talent. read more

Gary, the appraiser has done 2 appraisals for us. One was for a re-fi and the second for my shortsale. He is Def. the go to guy. I will recommend ALl star to anyone looking to hire a guy that will go above and a little beyond on comps and on his report. I have seen other reports and garys surpasses them all. Lots of details in the report and usefull information. When i met gary he was on time prompt and profetional. The 4 star is because the report had to go back for revition and he had to come back a second time. I don't know if thats normal in the industry or not. Over all great work. read more

Gary was awesome. He completed our appraisals on time - even though our job was at a very busy time. He was responsive on the phone, called back right away, answered all our questions and did exactly what he said he would. His appraisals were above and beyond getting way more comparisons than normal. I can't say enough about how happy we are to have chosen Gary at All Star Appraisals. Thank you! read more

All I can say is what a pro! I called at 3:18pm and received a callback from Gary at 4:04pm and a voice message with helpful details that helped direct the answers to my appraisal questions. I called him back and he spoke with me some more over the phone. I could not receive appraisal services from him as my situation pertains to a commercial appraisal, however he is definitely on my callback list if i have a need for a residential appraisal. Thanks Gary! read more

Gary is great! We needed an appraisal on a property that we weren't quite sure about. Gary gathered info for the report, but when he heard we were going to back out of that escrow, he was more than cooperative and supportive. When we finally found a property we were sure we loved, we called him back. He was amazing with keeping in touch. He was so easy to get a hold of. He even rearranged his schedule to make it work. His report came back in a timely manner and was more than thorough. He really went above and beyond. I definitely recommend Gary to anyone looking for their own appraisal. He's the most professional and the best! read more

This review is also long overdue. Gary did an appraisal for me in the early part of 2019. Not only was he professional, kind, and thorough, but because of his great work I was able to get a fair price for my property when I ended up selling it a few months later. He's punctual, approachable, and his presence makes what could be a time-intensive, laborious process easy and far less daunting. Thank you, Gary. read more

Gary is awesome! He is professional and extremely thorough. He is very detailed oriented which is greatly appreciated. He is quick.

Thank you Gary!!! read more

Gary was a pleasure to work with and was very just and fair. I would definitely do business with him again.

Haven't used Gary as my appraiser but I sure hope I can choose him when I refi!

Nice guy who was very informative and happy to help by taking the time to dispense some necessary and useful information. read more
