Pacific Appraisers did an outstanding job establishing the value of a residential property that I…read morehave in Santa Cruz. Their charges were very reasonable and I was able to get the appraisal scheduled quickly and they turned around the valuation report just a day later. Both Shain Holden and Brett Marshall were a pleasure to work with and provided meaningful market analysis. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again and would highly recommend Pacific Appraisers to others.

After rebuilding my home, I disagreed with the valuation on the supplemental assessment the county…read moreprovided. Turns out Vicki not only has experience handling disputes with the county, she has family members who worked for the county assessor's office (so she knows how things work). Vicki was prepared to provide an appraisal quickly and affordably, but after reviewing my situation she advised that while the county's assessment was sloppily done, the impact on my tax bill (what I ultimately cared about) was unlikely to improve (for reasons too complex to go into here). I was grateful and impressed with Vicki's knowledge, efficiency, and honesty. She could easily have convinced me to pursue and appraisal, but advised me not to. Now I can rest easy that my tax bills are fair, which I consider a win.

I'm not sure if this was an attempt to collect another fee by having to come out again and re-inspect or what. It triggered a costly delay and the need for a roof inspection-which was positive all the way around. In any case, it demonstrates a lack of competence.
