““You can count on a quality job.””
I have used Brian for many years now. He has always done an outstanding job appraising properties in both Nevada and Placer Counties. Brian has always had the ability to accurately evaluate properties in rural areas as well. He is one of the few that “gets it”. He understands the importance of a view, NID irrigation water, and other features like large shops and ponds. These are traditionally very difficult to appraise due to the subjectivity of the Buyer but Brian has always been fair and supportive of their value. In addition, he has appraised several unusual properties and homes for me like log homes or dome houses and he has done an exceptional job there as well. Brian has also helped several of my clients with “Date of Death” appraisals for estate and reporting purposes. I would recommend Brian for any appraisal in the Nevada and Placer County areas. You can count on a quality job.

I have had the pleasure of working with Brian and a few different transactions. The first time I met him he was actually appraising my own home he was on time, professional, thorough yet while leaving no trace behind that he had been here. He appraisal was in my opinion spot on for the place we were in at the time of appraisal. Later I ran into Brian on appraisal for escrows that I represented a buyer on and again he was just he was when he appraised mine. And most recently he moved extremely quickly to get a cash buyer an appraisal for me and he was very patient in explaining things to the 1st time home buyers and offered additional information.
I appreciate working with Brian he is a true professional that knows the market in our area and give accurate and fair appraisals.

Brian has a great working knowledge of the Grass Valley/Nevada City area and surrounding communities. He has been resourceful for my clients both before listing their homes for sale and determining market value for my purchase clients in a timely manner. He is very efficient and willing to answer questions from basic topics to the most complex of scenarios. Brian has consistently provided accurate information and if there is an unusual question to research he will take the time to get the right answer. I appreciate his work ethic and professionalism when dealing with our clients in the field and the quality of his work.

Brian is always our first call ans someone I highly recommend.
