Tips: When choosing an Appraiser, always go to www.OREA.ca.gov and do an Appraiser search to

see if they are compliant, and search for an Appraiser

by City. Ask questions of your Appraiser, as it is your right to understand the process. However, please understand that Appraisers are not permitted to discuss value with the Owner/Borrower. Remember, only a Certified Residential Appraiser can appraise properties with a loan value over $1M and Rental Properties of 1-4 units. In addition, only a Certified General Appraiser can appraise Commercial Properties (Retail, Office, Industrial & Special Use), and larger Multifamily properties. All Appraisers are required to complete different levels of continuing education. My 2024 course study was comprised of multiple modules of classes that included exams for updated USPAP Standards & Ethics, Construction Details from Concept to Completion, Appraising Energy-Efficient Homes, Natural Disasters & Mold, Covid-19 impact on Real Estate Values and Cultural Competency and Elimination of Bias in Appraisals, to name a few.

Qualifications

Experience

I started as a Trainee Appraiser in 1999. I had the pleasure of being trained by an expert family of appraisers for my mandatory 2000 trainee hours, after which I took the exam for my appraisal license. In 2008, after an additional 130 hours of appraisal education and 1500 more hours of experience, I passed the State exam from the OREA (Office of Real Estate Appraisers) to become a Certified Residential Appraiser. This license allows me to appraise properties with loan values over $1M and Rental Properties (1-4 units). In my 27 years of experience as an appraiser, I have completed or desk reviewed over 9,000 appraisals. (A desk review is a formal review of another appraiser's work usually performed by a Senior Appraiser contracted directly by a lender (in past years) and currently ordered by Appraisal Management Companies (AMC's) or Government authorities.) I have lived in many different cities in and around Los Angeles County and am absolutely qualified to appraise in all of the Cities I list on the previous page and most of Southern California.

Tips: An experienced appraiser knows their limitations and will only appraise in Cities they are familiar with. Neighborhood nuances can affect market value and an appraiser from the area will know these nuances. Other areas of importance to an appraiser are permitted or unpermitted ADU's and/or bonus rooms not on public records. It is important to clearly communicate the property's unique features and differences in square footage upfront. When you search for an appraiser, try to find one in or around your area. Also communicate the appraisal intended use and users.
