With over three decades of dedicated experience in the real estate industry I proudly serve as the Chief Appraiser and Owner of Hart Certified Appraisal Service. My extensive background encompasses a wide spectrum of appraisal services, including single and multi-family residences, non-conforming and rural properties, vacation homes, unimproved land, proposed construction, and appraisal reviews.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with local and national lenders, VA/FHA, insurance companies, law offices and private individuals, offering comprehensive appraisal solutions for financing, establishing list price, tax appeal, insurance loss, divorce and estate settlements. My territories of expertise span all of El Dorado and Amador County, California, ensuring that my clients receive accurate and informed appraisals tailored to their unique needs.

My journey in the real estate industry has been enriched by my role as a sales agent at Coldwell Banker Placerville, where I honed my skills in generating leads, marketing, contract negotiation, and property listing. I've also served as a staff appraiser for Bank of America, covering regions including Contra Costa County, Solano County, Sonoma County, Napa County, and Lake County. Additionally, my experience as an independent fee appraiser for various appraisal firms has further sharpened my expertise, covering territories such as Contra Costa County, Solano County, Alameda County, and San Francisco County.

My dedication to ongoing education serves as a reminder of my commitment to excellence. I have completed real estate and related courses at U.C. Berkeley, San Francisco City College, and The Appraisal Institute. I continuously pursue courses for continued education credits, including USPAP and federal and state laws and regulations. Additionally, I've delved into specialty courses from Marshall & Swift and ANSI Measuring Standards, keeping me at the forefront of industry knowledge. By attending trade shows and conferences from Appraisal Today, Appraisal Institute, and other professional organizations, I ensure that I stay updated with the latest trends and best practices in the field. Trust in my extensive experience, unwavering commitment to professionalism, and dedication to staying informed to guide you through your real estate appraisal journey.
