My husband and I recently attended a sale by Dan Cobb Estate Sales. Dan responded to my email where…read moreI had questions regarding how they handle entry in to the sale. Not only did he promptly reply but followed through with their policies and handed out numbers the morning of the sale. Bonus is they allow you to stay in your car. The Sale started promptly on time, they had plenty of help and even had someone watching the hold tables. All items had tags and were fairly priced. We appreciated their professionalism, kindness, and sense of humor which made attending their sale a lot of fun. We look forward to the next sale. Thanks again!

I had the misfortune of attending a sale by Cobb on August 22nd. It was in a covered area of the…read morebackyard of a house. As we were browsing the aisles of merchandise, my friend and I were suddenly sprayed in the face with some noxious substance (probably bear spray or something similar). We were immediately blinded and experienced extreme burning pain in our eyes, noses and mouths. It was hard to breathe. It was frightening not knowing what was happening to us. Other people were also affected. Apparently, some kids had found the spray on a merchandise table and decided to spray it on people walking by. We stumbled blindly out of the backyard into the driveway area, not able to see where we were going, asking anyone around if they had water. We received no assistance at all from any Cobb employee and finally found a water hose on our own so we could rinse the spray out of our eyes and off our faces. The burning and pain continued on for several minutes even after rinsing it off and the residual stinging went on for several hours after. We have attended these sales many times in the past but won't be attending any more. Being sprayed with that substance unaware and not provoked was traumatic for me. That type of spray is meant for self-defense and is an assault if used for fun. Having something so dangerous readily accessible to dim-witted, ill-mannered, unsupervised kids was very irresponsible on the part of the Cobb company in our opinion and shows a real lack of concern for the safety of their customers.

Ted was prompt, thorough and really listened to all of the questions, clarifications we had as it relates to the property. We also needed kind of a dual perspective in our situation- one track purpose's based on certain dates and then one for current values. Thank you so much We've all owned homes and sold homes but a great Appraiser is the first important step to kick off the whole process. Thank you so much, Ted for making things quick and easy! Look forward to the next time.

I hired Jonathan Sanders to appraise my family's property as part of a highly complex probate and…read moretrust litigation matter. The circumstances involved numerous unique factors that required far more analysis than a typical residential appraisal. Jonathan delivered a thorough, well-researched, and professional report that reflected the property's true value and addressed the issues I was concerned about. Most importantly, the conclusions were supported by solid data and careful analysis rather than shortcuts or assumptions. While there was a slight delay in receiving the final report, my case was unusually complicated, and Jonathan remained in communication throughout the process. He kept me informed, answered questions, and made it clear that he was taking the time necessary to do the job correctly. In a situation where accuracy mattered far more than speed, I appreciated his attention to detail and commitment to producing a quality work product. I would recommend Jonathan Sanders to anyone needing a professional appraisal, particularly for complex estate, trust, or litigation-related matters.

When questioned she claimed that it was code, but she was not able to cite any reason for just saying it was code. This was her official response: Appraiser response: Appraiser also call Madera County to confirm . I left 3 messages and finally got a call back and he told me to Google International Minimum Property Requirements. Please note "c". This was my finding: 15.24.060 Minimum security standards for single-family dwellings. A. Doors. 1. Exterior Doors. a. Exterior doors and doors leading from garage areas into single-family dwelling shall be of solid core with a minimum thickness of one and three-fourths inches. b. Exterior doors for single-family dwellings and garages shall have deadbolt locks with a one-inch minimum throw in addition to deadlatches. The locks shall be so constructed that both deadbolt and deadlatch can be retracted by a single action of the inside doorknob. Alternate devices equally resistant to illegal entry may be substituted subject to prior approval of the enforcing authority. Strike plates for deadbolts shall be secured to wooden jambs with two-inch wood screws. (Refer to subsection (A)(1)(h) of this section.) c. Doors leading from enclosed garage areas into single-family dwellings shall have deadbolts in addition to deadlatches. If she had the call the county three times to determine if it was a code why is she even requiring this to be repaired? After some research I was able to find this document. It is actually code for Seaside, CA which is no where near Madera county. This is complete fraud!
