CSH Appraisals

Appraisal Real Estate Service,

About us

My name is Chris Howell and I have been in the appraisal business since 2006. I am a certified "residential" real estate appraiser and certified by the state of California. I take great pride in my quality of work and excellent customer service. I specialize in appraisals for divorce proceedings, trusts, estates, tax purposes, expert witness testimony and simple market value. Appraisals for new mortgages, refinancing and PMI removal are typically ordered directly by lenders or their representatives. However, "pre-mortgage" valuations is something that my company can certainly provide. Contact me today for your appraisal needs.

Our relationship has been a long-distance one, only by phone and email, but I feel I know Chris well, and am totally satisfied with the very thorough work he has done, appraising our hard-to-compare property.

Chris deserves all the 5-stars everyone here has given him. He is indeed very professional and thorough just as many of the reviewers here have said. I was wowed by the report he has put together for me in a timely manner. I found it comprehensive, well supported and in short, irreproachable. His fee is fair; and he deserves every penny of it and more. I won't hesitate, and in fact, be rather proud and confident to recommend him to anyone for his/her real estate appraisal needs. Thank you, Chris.

Chris was extremely professional and thorough. He was able to quickly turn around an appraisal for me, even working on a holiday. He is an excellent communicator and let me know what to expect from the beginning and through the process. I highly recommend him.
