Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a written contract?

Yes! We encourage written agreements for larger projects. Many appraisers provide detailed proposals or contracts outlining scope, timeline, and pricing. These documents supplement our platform's standard terms and your escrow protection for complete clarity.

What geographic areas do you serve?

Kokobeo serves all of Berkeley and surrounding areas in CA. Our network includes professionals willing to travel throughout the region. When posting your project, you'll see which appraisers serve your specific location and their travel policies.

How does Kokobeo's escrow payment system work?

When you hire a appraiser through Kokobeo, your payment is held in a secure escrow account. The funds are only released to the professional when you approve the completed work. This protects you from paying for incomplete or unsatisfactory service, while ensuring the professional gets paid fairly for quality work.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

You can cancel or reschedule before work begins without penalty. Once work has started, cancellation terms depend on your agreement with the appraiser. Any work completed up to cancellation point will be calculated, and unused funds remain in your escrow for future projects.

Are there any hidden fees?

No hidden fees ever. The price you see when hiring a appraiser is exactly what you pay. Our small service fee is clearly displayed before you commit. Professionals cannot add surprise charges - any additional costs must be approved by you before work proceeds.

How quickly can I find a appraiser in Berkeley?

Most Berkeley professionals respond within 2-4 hours. For emergency services, many are available 24/7 and can arrive within 1-2 hours. You'll typically receive multiple quotes within 24 hours to compare pricing and availability.

What if emergency repairs are needed after hours?

Many professionals on Kokobeo offer 24/7 emergency services. Filter for "Emergency Services" when searching, and you'll see appraisers available for after-hours, weekend, and holiday emergencies. Escrow protection applies even for urgent calls.

What if I need permits for my project?

Discuss permit requirements with your chosen appraiser before work begins. Many professionals can obtain necessary permits in Berkeley as part of their service. Permit costs and responsibility should be clearly outlined in your agreement before starting any work.
