I hired East Coast Appraisal Service to appraise my home in Brooklyn — a 2-family brownstone in a historic district that recently went through a major renovation. I needed an accurate valuation for insurance purposes, and getting the value right really matters on a house like this. From the start, they were prompt and professional. Scheduling was easy, the inspection was thorough, and the completed report came back on schedule. When I reviewed the report and had questions, they didn't just wave me off — they went back and double-checked their work for accuracy and issued a revised report. A week later I sent another round of follow-up questions and got clear answers the same day. The report itself was detailed and well documented, with exactly the kind of care you want when an insurance carrier is going to rely on the numbers. Communication was responsive throughout — no chasing, no waiting days for a reply. If you need an appraisal in Brooklyn, especially for an older or historic property where the details matter, I highly recommend East Coast Appraisal Service.

Steve appraised a two-family home we were selling in Red Hook. Comps are always a little tricky in the neighborhood, but East Coast Appraisal really understands the nuances of this market. As a bonus, Steve was very quiet and courteous with the tenants and their newborn!
Thank you, Tina! Red Hook has its own market, and two-family homes there take real local knowledge to value well. We're glad that came through. We'll pass your kind words on to Steve. Being respectful of tenants, especially a family with a newborn, matters to us as much as the numbers. Best of luck with the sale! East Coast Appraisal Service

We had an excellent experience with East Coast Appraisal Service for the appraisal of our marina property in Montauk, Long Island for IRS step-up purposes. The assignment was complex and required a strong understanding of marina properties and the local Montauk market. East Coast Appraisal Service was professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive throughout the entire process. The appraisal report was detailed, well-supported, and completed in a timely manner. We were extremely pleased with the quality of the work and would highly recommend this company to anyone needing a professional real estate appraisal, especially for a unique or specialized property in Long Island.
Thank you, Dana! Marinas are specialized properties, and valuing one in Montauk means understanding both how the business operates and the East End market. We appreciate your trust in us for such a complex assignment, and we're glad the report met your needs. If you ever need anything else on Long Island or in New York City, we're always happy to help.

East Coast Appraisals was great to work with for a condo in Williamsburg. Steve was detailed in his approach and considered all factors of the apartment and building to assess the overall value. I would happily work with them again.
Thank you, Taylor. We’re glad Steve’s detailed approach helped with your Williamsburg condo appraisal.

It was a pleasure to assist you, and we would be happy to work with you again. East Coast Appraisals
I had such a great experience with East Coast Appraisal. I needed two appraisals done for two separate properties in Brooklyn, and I needed them completed fast. Luckily, East Coast was quick to respond to my inquiry, great with communication, thorough and detail-oriented and so flexible. The appraisals were outstanding, too. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Eissa. We’re glad we could complete both Brooklyn property appraisals on a fast timeline while keeping communication clear and the analysis thorough. We know multiple-property assignments can be time-sensitive, and we appreciate your recommendation. It was a pleasure working with you. East Coast Appraisals
