Certified Green Home Appraiser (CGHA)
Hello, I'm Gary Fradella, a seasoned real estate appraiser with over 35 years of experience serving Southern California, particularly the high desert and surrounding areas. My mission is simple: to provide reliable, accurate, and timely appraisals that you can count on—no matter the property type or situation.
Born and raised in Temple City, California, I’m a proud graduate of Temple City High School. After earning a full scholarship to UCLA, I pursued a career in professional baseball. Unfortunately, a career-ending injury shifted my focus, but it wasn’t the end—it was the beginning of a new adventure. I worked as a ranger in Sequoia National Park and later earned my Forestry Degree from Fresno State in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. From there, my passion for precision and detail led me to real estate, where I became a Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser.
​
In 1989, I founded Fradella Appraisal Works and hit the ground running. By 1992, I was officially state licensed, and I've been proudly serving my clients ever since. I specialize in Single Family Residences (SFR), Condominiums, Multi-Family Dwellings (2-4 Units), Planned Unit Developments (PUD), Pre-Fabricated (Manufactured) Homes, New Construction, and Historical Homes. But that’s not all—I also offer specialized services, including Divorce Settlement Appraisals, Foreclosures/Default Appraisals, Tax Assessment Appraisals, Trust & Estate Appraisals, and PMI Removal Appraisals.
​
In addition to my extensive real estate expertise, I’m committed to staying at the forefront of the industry. I’ve recently earned several specialized certifications, including a Certified Green Building Concepts certification, Valuation of Residential Solar certification, Appraisal of REO and Foreclosure Properties certification, and Appraising Manufactured Homes certification. These additional credentials allow me to provide in-depth, knowledgeable appraisals for energy-efficient homes, green building features, solar installations, and manufactured homes—areas that are increasingly important in today’s evolving real estate landscape.
​
What truly drives me? The honor of serving our veterans. I’m deeply proud to be a VA Panel Appraiser for the Veterans Administration, helping our military heroes achieve their homeownership dreams.
When you work with me, you get more than just an appraisal. You get years of experience, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to making sure you have the most reliable information possible. Whether you’re buying, selling, or settling a dispute, I’m here to help you navigate the process with confidence. Let’s make your real estate journey a success!
