ABOUT
About
Over the past three decades of providing real estate appraisal services, South Coast Appraisals
has established a reputation for quality work that is provided professionally, ethically and in a timely manner, and with a strong emphasis on customer service.
David Patzlaff is the principle owner of South Coast Appraisals
and has been appraising real property throughout the Southern California area for over thirty years. He is a Certified General Appraiser, which is the highest level of licensure issued to real estate appraisers. A Certified General Appraiser has the state approval to appraise all types of real estate including commercial (retail, office, industrial), residential and mixed use properties without regard to transaction value or complexity.
Our firm strictly follows the guidelines set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). USPAP is the essential regulating document of the appraisal profession. It explains, defines and describes the recognized ethical and performance standards for the appraisal profession in the United States. USPAP is published, maintained and periodically revised by the Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) of the Appraisal Foundation, a congressionally authorized non-government entity that enforces the appraisal standards. In order to remain abreast of changes in the industry, market conditions and revisions to USPAP, our appraisers regularly complete continuing education courses and seminars as required by the California Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers. At a minimum, a USPAP update course and a course regarding Federal & State Laws and Regulations must be completed every two years. Other continuing education must be completed every four years.
