We often participate in open houses and frequently keep close contact with people involved in high end transactions.  Due to the numerous high end appraisals we perform, our data base has detailed and accurate information in the geographic areas we cover.

Our staff is also involved in litigation related evaluations, by estimating values for divorce and/or separation settlements, estate planning, gift tax, property tax reduction, probate, trust sales and other fields where real estate valuation is needed. Chris Adelman is involved in numerous expert witness testimonies and depositions and was quoted in the cover story of the November 29th, 2004 edition of the Los Angeles Daily Journal, in regards to his expert witness experience.

While property appraisals are most often associated with lending transactions (i.e., new home purchases or refinancing of an existing loan) there are in fact many non-lending related scenarios, in which an appraisal is required. Attorneys and accountants rely on an appraiser’s professional opinion of value when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, bankruptcy, and other disputes/ settlements requiring a determination of value for real property. At Adelman Appraisals, inc., we understand the specific needs of these professionals and are experienced in interacting with all parties involved. We provide appraisal reports that meet the stringent requirements of the courts and various governmental and private agencies.
