24 Years in Orange County. One Appraiser. His Word on Every Report.
Just Appraisals, Inc. is an owner-operated practice built on honest work and long-term relationships. When you hire us, Mat's name, and his word, are behind your appraisal.
Mat Just grew up in Orange County and has spent his entire career here. He started Just Appraisals, Inc. in 2004 and has been appraising properties across the county ever since — through multiple market cycles, across every neighborhood, from Newport Beach to San Clemente.
That kind of local depth isn't something you develop by studying market reports. It comes from 24 years of showing up, doing the work, and knowing this county the way someone who grew up here knows it.
Credentials & Licensing
Mat holds a California State Certified Residential Appraiser license through the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers (BREA License #AR029995) and is a licensed California real estate agent. Both credentials are current and in good standing.
Just Appraisals, Inc. maintains offices in Santa Ana and San Clemente; covering the full length of Orange County from north to south.
How Just Appraisals Works
Most appraisal firms operate on volume — a high number of orders handled by whoever is available. Just Appraisals is built differently.
Mat is the principal appraiser on every assignment. He built this practice around one standard: the kind of work that holds up in court, satisfies a CPA, and doesn't come back with questions. His experience, his standards, his signature, and his word are behind every report that leaves this office.
For estate and legal work especially, that matters. When an attorney or CPA refers a client to Just Appraisals Inc., they're not just referring to a company — they're putting Mat's name behind a recommendation. That accountability goes both ways.
A Practice Built on Word of Mouth
Just Appraisals has never advertised. Every client who's called has been sent by someone who was already served well — an attorney, a CPA, a real estate agent, or a family member who went through the process and passed the name along.
That's been the model for over two decades. It only works if the work is consistently good and the relationship is consistently honest. The referrals are the proof that it has been.
Orange County Is Home Base.
The practice has covered every corner of the county for 24 years — from Anaheim and Santa Ana in the north to Dana Point and San Clemente in the south. For estate and legal matters, Mat also regularly takes assignments throughout the northern San Diego coastal corridor, a natural extension from the San Clemente office.
