Brad Heavey Real Estate Appraiser

My Mother passed away several months ago and left me her home. I was told I needed to get her home appraised, since she bought it 13 years ago and it had gone up in value since then. I picked Brad Heavey from Unilocal because he lived close by and had five stars. Brad was punctual and was professional and yet friendly. He was very thorough and extremely helpful in many other ways. He was honest and gave me some good advice, which I really appreciated. The finished appraisal came in within a week and I was very pleased. Thanks so much, Brad!

How do I begin to tell you what an amazing blessing Brad has been… He has helped me in more ways I could’ve ever imagined. He went out of his way to help me overcome hurdles in regards to my property that had nothing to do with appraising it. He truly is the best appraiser/​advisor in San Diego…
I did a ton of research on appraisers in San Diego before deciding to call him and boy am I glad I did… I promise you will not find a more thorough, honest and better overall person than Brad…
He’s been invaluable to me throughout this whole process.
Brad, you are and will continue to be my «go to» guy for ANYTHING real estate related.
I really can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me.
You’ve made this an awesome and exciting experience. Thanks again!

I’m currently in the process of selling my home and had a couple of questions about the appraisal. I randomly called a couple of appraisers no one answered or didn’t have time to talk with me. Brad was the next on the list, when I called he was so kind and full of knowledge about the appraisal process. Thanks Brad!

In today’s world it is a rare to find and enlist the expertise of an honest, ethical individual. In Brad we found that and more.
My husband and I were under contract for a home under construction for a «tract» home in the Brightwater subdivision in Huntington Beach. About one month prior to closing escrow, we discovered the builder had done a classic «Bait and Switch». The builder substituted charming cape cod shingle siding on 75% of the exterior of the home with plain stucco. The sales staff also had failed to disclose these changes and even altered contract disclosures, committing fraud. We filed a lawsuit for Breach of Contract and our attorney insisted on retaining an expert to evaluate the current value of the home we were to purchase since the builder sold it while we were still in escrow.
We found that expertise in Brad Heavey. He was so conscientious and was always available when we called too. Brad was the person who upon doing research in the valuation of our home discovered that the builder did not build the home to the plans and specifications that were submitted to the County of Orange to obtain the building permit to construct the home. He continued, even after arbitration, to be the provider of highly valuable information and knowledge.
Mike and I consider Brad to be one of the smartest, most ethical and kind human being we have ever had the pleasure to know!!!
I can be reached at (559)-280−616eight if you would appreciate verbal confirmation of my review.
Most sincerely,
Melanie Owens

After asking Brad for assistance in evaluating my rental property, I was impressed with his thoroughness and professionalism. He listened to my concerns and then sought information and provided me information in addressing each of the concerns I had. He made numerous inquiries of realtors, the county assessor’s office, property management companies and others to gather information. He presented me with a complete picture of the state of my property. He assessed the current state of the property and provided many suggestions and ideas as to how to make the property profitable. The information he supplied concerned taxes, rents, addressing renters, property management companies, and possibly refinancing the property. I found working with Brad to be a positive and educational experience. He imparted many insights and words of wisdom to help improve the circumstances of my property.
