We requested an appraisal because our corner unit condo was not getting fairly recognized in the market, being compared with other mismatched units. Vince and Tony have the skills to seek out the essential information that truly represented our condo. We were very pleased with how they found excellent units for comparison and bringing our condo value to where it should be in the market. Thanks guys!

they did not even consider the 12 recent sales of similar properties i furnished them. one sold only a few months earlier a block away and built by the same contractor at the same time. house was in similar condition I was in it. it sold for 40K less than they appraised mine. they also inflated the selling price of a comparable they used by 30K dollars. this alone is a reason to avoid them. they did not even consider the 40K estimate i had to repair the structual issues i have. They also didnt even consider the fact there is no central air in my house. All of their comparables did not have the faults my house has.
Response from V A Solano & Associates, Inc.
"Owner wanted an appraisal based on his value estimate so he could receive a real estate tax reduction. We appraised his property commensurate with Uniform Standards, and ethical considerations, and appropriately valued his residence without bias and prejudice. He thought he was owed a greater tax reduction and was disgruntled. We would not be intimated or unduly influenced to prepare a fraudulent appraisal."
