The ecomony hit our family especially hard and we made the difficult decision to declare bankruptcy. Brian seemed to really know the ins and outs of bankruptcy appraisals so we picked him. Over the following months, the bank disputed the appraisal and submitted a BPO that stated our property was worth significantly more than his appraisal. Our attorney called Brian for a rebuttal and he prepared a 7 page response to the BPO and provided a ton of other evidence in support of his value and against the banks. In the end, the bank capitulated and our bankruptcy was allowed to move forward. I am sure they knew they would be utterly embarrased in court. Brian performed admirably. If you are looking for someone to stand behind you during your bankruptcy, I really urge you to use Brian.

Brian Ward IS one of the best at appraisals in the San Diego area. He has helped me out with so many questions. He has by FAR the best customer service that I have seen in a long time. He is not only great at what he does, but he is honest, fair, and cheap! For his prices you are getting much much more than just an appraisal you are getting a one on one consultation on what goes into each appraisal. I have and will continue to highly recommend Brian to all of my friends and Family.

Brian, the owner, personally came out and did a very thorough and fair, I believe, appraisal on my University City residence. He was very professional and had the appraisal done for the $299 flat fee as advertised and completed the report in three business days !!!  I would definitely use him again!!!

I found Brian here on Yelp and filled out a request for information on his web site. He responded immediately and was very quick and flexible in scheduling an appointment. His inspection of the property was thorough and the resulting report he provided was clear, concise, and (I feel) accurate. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a residential real estate appraisal.

I contacted Brian based on positive reviews others had written about his company. I needed an appraisal very quickly. Or so I thought. Brian was kind enough to spend a fair amount of his time looking into my situation and determined that getting a new appraisal would not actually benefit me.  I should also mention that because I thought there was a great hurry, he offered go by my house on the weekend if I decided to get the appraisal. I decided against it but if and when I need one in the future, I'll be calling Brian.

I am so relieved!  I joined Yelp just so that I can give Brian rave reviews!  As executor of my mothers estate, I had to have her home here in San Diego appraised.  I have never ordered an appraisal before and it seemed like a daunting task. After calling a couple of appraisers I came across Brian here on Yelp.  He was the most willing to spend time with me to help me wade through my options and also suggested a lower priced option which saved the estate anywhere from $50 to $150 compared with his competition.  I don't have much experience with appraisals but the accountant seems very pleased with the report.  I can whole-heartedly recommend Brian and his appraisals!

I just received the appraisal I ordered from Brian Ward and I felt compelled to write a review. Brian Ward professional, courteous, and I am very happy with the appraisal I received. The appraisal is thorough and makes sense so I am confident that it will suit my need. I can't say enough about how my expectations have been exceeded!

I recently bought a house in Pacific Beach but wanted an unbiased opinion before putting an offer on it.  I called around and Brian was the most informative and helpful appraiser I spoke with and he confirmed with me that an appraisal before offering to purchase is smart because once an offer is made, it becomes an indicator of the property's value and can skew an appraisal.  I paid $299 for a full appraisal and used it to negotiate a lower sales price.  I have bought several properties in the past and I consider Brian's appraisal to be the best I have had.  It was clear and left little room for argument which was important when negotiating with the seller and their agent.  I can't say how much it saved me for sure, but it potentially saved me up to $40,000.  I strongly suggest that anyone buying a property get an appraisal before purchasing and that they should use Brian as well.

My father passed and I needed an appraiser for the San Diego area.  I looked online and came across Brian and gave him a call.  I am so glad I did.  I was really concerned about being taken advantage of but Brian turned out to be old-fashioned service oriented and delivered good appraisals on time.  Brian is a testiment to appraisers everywhere and I encourage everyone to consider him if they need an appraisal.

I ordered an appraisal from Brian Ward Appraisal and couldn’t be more satisfied. The appraisal makes sense and they did everything they said they would do and when they said they would do it. I can definitely recommend them.
