Services

Gibson and Associates have served Southern Orange County since 1989, and we are based in San Juan Capistrano. We are state certified FHA approved appraisers and Michael is an Accredited Green Appraiser. We specialize in estate and portfolio appraisal reports as well as estate / tax planning reports for attorneys, accountants, probate and Trustees.

Communication is very important during the initial conversation phase of any assignment in order to determine a scope of work. Appraisal and consultation fees are quoted based on specific client requirements and property characteristics. Every property is different and a client’s need for an appraisal may be for a number of reasons listed below.
