Will Phillips started Trusted Valuations in 2002 after seeing a need for dependable
and defensible residential real estate appraisal reports in a rapidly changing industry.
He came into this industry with a background in finance and financial planning. This
experience, in conjunction with his bachelor’s degree from San Diego State University
in Finance and English Composition, has given him a strong and stable stance in
providing this quality service.

Since 2002 Trusted Valuations has been serving the residential real estate appraisal
needs of San Diego, Orange, and Riverside Counties, with a focus on providing a
higher level of service and reporting. Will has actively pursued continuing education
in a variety of appraisal areas, from the intricacies of accurate appraisal reporting to
litigation support. In addition, he has joined with valuable industry partners, such as The
Appraisal Institute, to contribute and gain from a collective wisdom.

Will feels that continual education is essential in his quest to provide the highest level of
service and reporting. As a result, his resume of relevant courses and designations is
ever-growing. Will is currently pursuing both the SRA Designation and the Professional
Development Program for Litigation from the Appraisal Institute. These are coveted
designations recognized not only within the appraisal world, but by outside end-users of
residential real estate appraisals.

After 9 years of experience, Will has seen the market demands and shifts through
the eyes of a Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser and is eager to share
these insights into the industry. He will explore industry news and events, appraisal
information, market conditions and tips and advice for everyone who uses and relies on
residential real estate appraisals.
