I agree with the other reviewers. Rubens service went above and beyond my expectations. Extremely professional as well as friendly and easy to work with. I had a difficult schedule and lived far from the property. Ruben was very flexible and worked with my limited time. He performed an initial appraisal that I needed for tax purposes and also evaluated the property as I was preparing to sell. The value he determined was right in line with the market, and matched the final offer that was presented. Hes very cognizant of the surrounding market and fluctuations that impact sales price. I would

I met Ruben several years ago when he was the buyer's appraiser for my listing. I was really impressed with his knowledge and have kept his contact info ever since. I've referred him to several homeowners and other agents over the years. All have been equally impressed with him.

I hired Ruben for his listing valuation services for my rental property in Riverside. I was set on a certain price but he made me understand that I could get a lot more for the house. I listed the property at his recommendation and got more than I thought I would. I highly recommend Swift residential appraisal.
