We had a great experience with Arizona Appraisal Advisors. Jon Putnam completed a difficult appraisal on a unique, high end, custom luxury home. He was highly knowledgeable, qualified, and efficient. Jon completed the appraisal and worked diligently with the lender to allow our closing to happen within our timeframe. Jon had wonderful communication throughout the whole process. We truly appreciated his expertise, professionalism, and efficiency during our transaction. If you need an appraisal, you cant go wrong with Arizona Appraisal Advisors.

I had Arizona Appraisal Advisors do a market valuation on a townhome in Scottsdale that my wife and I were going to purchase. The work that John did was thorough and professional, and he delivered the appraisal one day earlier than promised. We were also thoroughly impressed with the time Jon took with us over the phone to explain his methodology. His work was well worth the investment and was very helpful in our real estate decision. I highly recommend Arizona Appraisal Advisors.

Jonathan is super knowledgeable and helped us navigate through the valuation and appraisal process for our home. He was super responsive and took the time to explain key points that gave us better insight into how the value of our home is reached. I wish all finance companies would let you choose your appraiser. Thanks so much Jonathan!
