Real Estate Appraisal Services in Southern California & Beyond

Hi, I’m David Collins with Collins & Associates.

I’ve been a real estate appraiser for more than 50 years, I’m a State of California licensed Certified General Appraiser. Also, I have a General Accredited Appraiser designation from the National Association of Realtors and a State of California designation S.C.R.E.A.. During that time I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide range of appraisal assignments throughout Southern California and beyond.

My experience includes commercial properties, industrial properties, land, multi-family residential, small residential units, apartment buildings, residential real estate, as well as estate planning, IRS date of death/inheritance, tax appeals and other tax matters, litigation, eminent domain, and other complex valuation assignments.

One thing that is especially important to me is that when you contact Collins & Associates, you work directly with me.

I personally review each assignment, make sure I understand the property and the purpose of the appraisal, determine the appropriate scope of work, research the market for relevant comparable sales information, inspect the subject property and all of the comparable sales, write the appraisal report and develop the valuation.

Many of the clients I work with are property owners, attorneys, CPAs, trustees, investors, businesses owners, and other professionals who need an independent and well-supported opinion of real estate property valuation.

Sometimes the appraisal is needed for an estate or tax matter. Other times it may involve litigation, a commercial property, a property tax issue, an investment decision, divorce settlement or another situation where understanding the value of the property is important.

After more than five decades in this profession, I’ve learned that every property and every assignment is different. My job is to understand the situation, analyze the relevant information, and provide a valuation that is clear, independent, and properly supported.

If you have a property that needs to be appraised, or you’re not sure what type of appraisal you need, I’d be happy to discuss the assignment with you.

You can call me directly, request a call back, or submit an appraisal request through this website. I personally review the information and will follow up with you if I need any additional details, within 24 hours.

I’m David Collins with Collins & Associates. Thank you for visiting our website, and I look forward to speaking with you.
