I was fortunate to have Jay Josephs fairly and accurately appraise my home in Phoenix after an unscrupulous buyer tried to continually cheat me. The buyer signed and agreed to a property price and of course with the rediculous laws in AZ this signed document meant nothing. The cash buyer then went on to have an appraisal done (not needed as it was a cash buy) with an appraiser who was ignorant to put it mildly. After receiveing the rediculously low appraisal my real estate agents contacted Jay Josephs who came, appraised the property, and despite a horrible financial loss, made the purchase price closer to reality. My experience with Jay Josephs was nothing less than professional, with national standards, accuracy, and in a timely manner. Watch out in wonderful AZ as it is full of ***'s and people who have terrible standards and ethics. Jay Josephs is one of the few people that has honor and truly wants to help people.
