Appraisers
Alex Tynberg (alex.tynberg@tpl.org)
of the Trust for Public Land and Ann Van Leer of the Land Conservation
Brokerage (annvanleer@san.rr.com)
suggest these appraisers for your consideration. Linda Carson of the
ABF (info@theabf.org) has worked
successfully with appraiser Calton and his information is also added
below. These appraisers generally have a good record of success with
getting their appraisals approved by the California Department of General
Services (DGS); however, additional background checking before an appraiser
is hired is always advisable.
Please note: If you will be seeking State funding for
your project, it would be to your benefit to contact Mr. Tom Crandall
at the Department of General Services (916-375-4008 or Thomas.Crandall@dgs.ca.gov)
for information on the appraisal review process.
