In addition to mortgage finance appraisal reports - I provide forensic appraisal services including litigation support and mediation support. Each California real estate appraisal expert must remain unbiased when testifying in a real estate matter. Therefore, I cannot be an advocate for either side, unless I am hired as a consultant and not as an appraiser. As a consultant, I can consult with you and advise you about the relative strength of an appraisal presented by opposing parties.
