John is very professional and I would highly recommend him. He is very knowledgable and detailed with his quote. He provided excellent feedback on improvements to help us gain the most value of our property. It was a presure working with him all the way up in Washington for my parents home in California. Thanks John!

John provided a very comprehensive, accurate and detailed report in the timeframe that was quoted. The document provided me with a level of knowledge which enabled me to assess and evaluate potential offers as substantial or unrealistic. John's customer service is exemplary; not only did he provide information and documentation related to the appraisal, he assisted in providing multiple contacts for associated needs. His level of professionalism is outstanding. I will use this company for future needs, and will also refer both personal and professional contacts to use his services.

John was detailed in his report, helpful on the phone and went far beyond the call of duty in helping me connect with local people in order to update and prepare our house to sell. I would highly recommend this company!

John provided both a current and retro appraisal of my rental house. He was through, attentive to detail, and didn't mind traveling the extra miles to the house. You get great service at a reasonable price.

If you're looking for a responsive, detailed, customer-focused, appraiser, John Grichine, Northstar Appraisal, is your man. John did the residential appraisal of our property on time, and was very professional throughout the project. As an added bonus, John gave us a military / veteran discount on our appraisal fee. He delivered on his promises and was very easy to work with, so we highly recommend Northstar for your residential appraisal projects.

Mr. Grichine contacted me immediately and sent information regarding cost for both a walk-thru and drive-by appraisal. He was flexible and understanding with last minute changes involving a third party. I was very pleased he completed the appraisal quickly and sent me the report within days. I was apprehensive about hiring someone over the internet in another state but he was very professional and explained the process and set expectations. It was a very smooth process.

I contacted Mr. Grichine from out-of-state by telephone and outlined the specific work required, He quoted a very reasonable fee, we agreed, and he completed the work when promised. The appraisal was detailed, supported by appropriate evidence, and well presented. I would recommend him to others.

John was amazing. He is a true professional with integrity. I did not expect this level of customer service or timely process, but John delivered. The multiple appraisals were concise and detailed, which were explained in detail. Having been in the executive service industry for over 35 years, I would say my recommendation of this company and John would be considered valuable and accurate.
