THE COMPANY
Brentwood Property Appraisal (BPA) was founded in 1994 by Mike Friedman and his wife, Debbie Schneider. Mr. Friedman previously worked as a production appraiser for a residential appraisal firm in the San Fernando Valley. In the developing stage of his company, Mr. Friedman produced the appraisals and built the supporting systems. Ms. Schneider worked on administrative and accounting duties and marketed their company’s services to local mortgage companies. At that time, the real estate market in Southern California was experiencing the effects of the savings and loan crisis with a high rate of foreclosures and increased mortgage interest rates. Despite the economic downturn, the company slowly grew with a gradual increase in appraisal volume. Mr. Friedman began recruiting appraisers who he had worked with in the past and who he knew were reliable. The company continued to grow by diligently servicing and expanding its mortgage broker client base. Brentwood Property Appraisal’s growth and solid reputation were quickly noticed by local and national banks and financial service firms, as these institutions demand unwavering quality, execution, and integrity. Today, BPA’s clientele is comprised almost entirely of banks and financial institutions. The company’s corporate headquarters are located at 12100 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA. Brentwood Property Appraisal is run by a six person full-time management and administrative staff who oversees a team of more than 20 production appraisers serving the Southern California appraisal needs of some of the country’s largest financial institutions. Brentwood Property Appraisal is committed to providing the highest level of quality, professionalism, integrity and service, and continues to grow at a time when most areas of the real estate lending services are contracting. BPA continues to pride itself on its niche in the real estate market as the “high-end” appraisal solution.
