About Us
Originally the business was started in 1987 and named Certified Appraisal Bureau to announce
the formation of a company to perform certified appraisals (both commercial and residential)
in the Southwest Louisiana area. The founder, Nelson Moss became one of the first 100 Certified
General Appraisers in Louisiana as well as the nation. The business was founded on the basis
of integrity - both quality and timeliness of work and had a sound basis with one of the first
commercial databases; currently with thousands of comparable sales dating back to 1987.
In 1997, the business was expanded to include Southeast Texas (from the Sabine River to Houston).
In 2008 the name was changed to Moss & Associates to more accurately reflect the principal's names (father and son) and the emphasis on commercial appraising.
Today, we have offices in Lake Charles as well as Houston and continue to do appraisals for lenders, government agencies (eminent domain), as well as private
appraisals for bankruptcies, divorces, etc.
