I am the appraiser in Sun City, Hemet,Perris, San Jacinto, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Murrieta, Temecula, and Wildomar. On occasion I will do appraisals in the San Gabriel Valley or Los Angeles where I used to sell real estate.
COMP CHECKS?
Yes, I offer this service.
Licensed appraisers are required by the Office of Real Estate Appraiseres to adhere to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
USPAP Advisory opinion 19 states that selecting comps and indicating a range of value is an appraisal.
Before asking for a comp check, please read the information from the following site:

You should also read the link below where I have written extensively about comp checks,
sometimes known as pencil checks or "desktop appraisals".
Comp checks are provided for client investigation of risk in ordering a report. It can never be a guarantee of a value on a subsequent full appraisal.
