Our Background in Appraisals

We proudly offer more than 20 years of real estate appraisal experience. Our team possesses a deep knowledge of the nuances of the real estate market and local neighborhoods, enabling us to identify and capitalize on lucrative investment opportunities. With a proven track record of turning these opportunities into profits for our clients, we stand out as the go-to partner for investors seeking to maximize their real estate portfolios in Orange County and elsewhere in the United States.

We see these opportunities in a different light than other agents, leveraging our appraisal experience and close relationships with many high-end local builders. We started our business with $90M in new construction opportunities, working directly with investors and builders to identify opportunities. From understanding the local area and acquiring land to selling the final asset, we handle and offer insight into each stage of the process, supporting our clients at each step along the way. We can accurately assess long term investment opportunities by identifying the fair market value of homes and potential return on investment, affording our investor clients the ability to seize timely opportunities. Further, we have the real estate market expertise, first hand community knowledge, Compass brokerage support, and marketing, sales, and negotiation skills to convert these opportunities into positive gain for our clients.
