Who We Are

Washington Appraisal was founded to bridge the gap between data-driven analytics and local market nuance. We are analysts who provide the independent valuation backbone for high-stakes decisions. From historic Georgetown estates to complex commercial portfolios, our methodology is built on a “Two-Tier Review” process, ensuring every report meets the strict compliance standards of the IRS, USPAP, and the Courts.

Frank John

Founder & Chief Appraiser

He is the visionary behind one of Washington D.C. metro area’s most acclaimed appraisal firms, achieving both the highest ratings and the largest volume of five-star reviews across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

Over the course of his career, he has appraised thousands of properties, ranging from compact studio condominiums to iconic multi million-dollar estates—including a historic governor’s residence dating back to the early 1800’s and modern luxury developments at The Wharf.

Recognized for his expertise, he has testified as an expert witness for organizations such as AARP, the District of Columbia Government, and Hogan Lovells, among many leading law firms. He has been formally certified as an expert by courts throughout the region and has been featured by CNBC and The Washington Post for his insight into the local real estate market.
