Testimonials
After my mom passed away, as Successor Trustee, I reached out to Paula to assist me with estate appraisals for six of our properties. She was incredibly easy to work with, very professional, and accessible. The process was smooth and seamless.
Paula continues to be an excellent resource for me regarding valuations and industry insights. I’ve referred her on multiple occasions to friends and relatives seeking appraisals and everyone has been very pleased.
Thank you, Paula, for all that you do!
Marianne P. Osberg
I started working with Norm Nowicki decades ago and I thought he was the best appraiser around at the time. Now, I’m very happy to entrust Paula with the important task of appraising properties for litigation, for sales and for valuations required by taxing authorities such as the Internal Revenue Service. When it is necessary to support those values in court or other hearings Paula is well prepared as an expert witness and persuasive to the judge or jury. I also confidently recommended Paula to clients and other attorneys.

I was very impressed with Paula’s appraisal of my Mom’s Greenbrae condo. It surpassed all of our criteria –– quick delivery, excellent comps, and very easy to understand. We would use her in the future without hesitation.

Paula helped us when our property assessment was overstated upon a date of death transfer. She reviewed the assessor’s data and identified discrepancies in their valuation. As a result, the assessment was reduced and we and avoided a hearing.
