Terrascope Appraisal was founded by Washington State Certified Residential Appraiser, Michael Eachus. Appraising residential properties in the Puget Sound Area since 1998, Michael Eachus has earned a solid reputation among seasoned professionals in the mortgage industry and among Real Estate Professionals as being honest, down to earth, ethical, educated, easy to work with, and able to handle any residential property appraisal with quick response. An associate member of the Appraisal Institute and working toward an SRA designation, Michael Eachus continues to seek education beyond the basics necessary for certification renewal.
Michael Eachus holds a BFA degree from the California College of the Arts with a double major in painting and ceramics, graduating with high distinction in painting and distinction in ceramics. His background in the arts exposed Michael to various skills and disciplines leading to appraising. As an art student, Michael visited and worked at several venues, including production studios of furniture design, textiles, and glass blowing. At a young age, Michael had already developed a keen eye for detail, recognizing quality and value.
The various jobs held by Michael over the years during and following college provided specific skills that eventually opened doors to appraising. From cataloging inventory in a warehouse to assisting in the building of custom travelling trade show booths, Michael has continually assessed his skill base, targeting his strongest assets and then using these skills to build on one another as stepping stones to a career in residential real estate appraisal.
"I really like what I do. Appraising residential properties is fun! I have met so many interesting and wonderful people and seen such a wide variety of homes and properties over the past years. Each home is somebody's unique castle. When considering an investment of great importance, a professional perspective is an invaluable resource. An appraiser provides a professional opinion of value; I like to add friendliness into the process. My clients find me friendly and approachable, often commenting about how their clients (usually the borrowers) mentioned how nice the appraiser had been. At Terrascope Appraisal every assignment is given the due diligence to arrive at credible results that are easy to understand and well-supported by the local market, performed by a friendly, trusted professional."

"Michael has been my #1 appraiser for the last several years. Without exception he has been fast, dependable and an overall pleasure to work with. In a changing market, he has been extremely helpful in accurately assessing current values and helping me understand how he came up with his numbers. I work with many different banks, and not one has EVER questioned one of his appraisals – a true testament to the quality of his work."
