Licensed. Experienced. Personal.
To appraise real estate in California, an appraiser must be licensed by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers (BREA). This means completing rigorous education (including USPAP standards, California laws, and fair housing requirements), logging supervised experience hours, passing a state exam, and maintaining ongoing continuing education.
 
Kathy Dotson has held her California appraiser license for more than 20 years and fully meets every BREA requirement. She stays current with all mandated courses and ethical standards so every valuation she delivers is accurate, unbiased, and fully compliant.
 
When you work with Kathy, you’re choosing a local professional who takes personal responsibility for the quality and integrity of your appraisal — someone who has earned the trust of homeowners, attorneys, and lenders throughout Santa Cruz County.
