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+++++

Not just that he is knowledgeable of the Torrance area, he is also knowledgeable of the zoning, the changes in the neighborhood and is also aware of all the future changes in regulations. He is the best appraiser that we have ever had. Cannot be happier. Highly recommended!!!!

Alan Fradkin of Fradkin and Associates was very easy to work with. His price was fair. I thought he…read moredid a very good job. He was punctual, prepared, and had a large amount of experience in the area where our house is. He produced date of death home appraisal report in less than 2 days. It has a lot of detailed descriptions, photographs, and was very comprehensive. The comparable properties seemed very appropriate. I would not hesitate to hire Alan again and will recommend him to others.

I needed an IRS Qualified Appraisal/Appraiser to appraise a property under construction to move the…read moreproperty to a trust and to prepare for consideration in a charitable contribution. 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!

Meh... I bought a…read moresingle house that was appraised for 825k. And then I did major renovation close to 200k. Toward the summer as the house prices go up, I wanted a refinance. The lender used this company. After all the 200k remodeling, the appraisal came to 859k. I mean 825k + 200k = 859k?? The Redfin estimate was well over 1M even without the renovation information. So, I guess if you use this company, don't expect for it to come close to Redfin estimate. I tried to call & left a message and emailed them. Zero response.

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.

That means, she shows up to appointments on time and completes her appraisals in the amount of time she said she would. Cindy is open to input, but also does through due diligence on each property she appraises. As a Realtor, we rarely get contact with the people that appraise our transactions, but whenever a need for an appraiser exists outside of transaction, Cindy is the first person I call. Also, whenever we have a property that we're either unsure of the value of or unsure in how to approach valuing it, Cindy is the person I call. If you need an appraiser, especially in the South Bay of LA, make sure you give Cindy a call.
