Appraisal services

Estate, divorce, tax appeal and fiduciary work is prepared as its own report type, written for the filing it supports. Lending, review and the property types lender panels pass on are handled here too, in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties.

17 report types

Every appraisal service

  1. Pre-Listing Appraisal

    An independent opinion of value before you set a list price, so the number in your listing comes from closed comparable sales rather than a range of agent estimates.

  2. Estate & Date-of-Death Appraisal

    A retrospective appraisal establishing market value as of the date of death for estate settlement, step-up in basis and trust accounting.

  3. Divorce & Dissolution Appraisal

    A USPAP-compliant appraisal of the marital residence prepared for property division, written to be read by a mediator, a family law attorney or a judge.

  4. Property Tax Appeal Appraisal

    An independent appraisal supporting a decline-in-value or assessment appeal filing with the Los Angeles County or San Bernardino County assessor and assessment appeals board.

  5. Appraisal Review & Second Opinion

    A review of an existing appraisal report for USPAP compliance, comparable selection, adjustment support and factual accuracy, or a new independent appraisal where a second set of eyes is needed.

  6. Residential Appraisal for Lending & Refinance

    Full interior and exterior residential appraisals for mortgage lending, refinance, portfolio review and private lending, delivered on standard lender forms with USPAP-compliant support.

  7. Pre-Purchase Appraisal for Buyers

    An independent appraisal ordered by the buyer, separate from the lender's appraisal, for anyone paying cash, buying off-market, or deciding how far to go in a multiple-offer situation.

  8. Multi-Family & 2–4 Unit Appraisal

    Appraisals of duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes (two to four units) using both sales comparison and income approaches, with market rent and expense analysis documented.

  9. Vacant & Hillside Land Appraisal

    Appraisals of vacant residential lots, hillside parcels and acreage where value turns on access, slope, utilities, zoning and buildable area rather than on finished square footage.

  10. Equestrian & Large-Lot Property Appraisal

    Appraisals of horse properties, large-lot homes and parcels with barns, arenas, stalls or agricultural preserve status, where the improvements beyond the house carry real weight.

  11. Hillside & Custom Home Appraisal

    Appraisals of custom, architect-designed and hillside homes where views, grade, access and one-off construction quality make automated estimates unreliable.

  12. Historic & Pre-1940 Home Appraisal

    Appraisals of Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival and early Period Revival homes near the Claremont Colleges, the Village and central Pomona, where original detail, additions and prior remodels all affect value differently.

  13. Trust, Conservatorship & Fiduciary Appraisal

    Appraisals ordered directly by trustees, conservators, guardians and their advisors for trust funding, asset inventory, beneficiary distribution and court accounting.

  14. Litigation Support & Expert Witness Appraisal

    Appraisal work prepared for litigated matters including partnership and partition disputes, bankruptcy filings, construction defect claims and eminent domain questions, with declarations and testimony available.

  15. Market Rent Analysis (Form 1007 / 216)

    Documented market rent opinions for single-family rentals and small income properties, supported by comparable lease data rather than listing asks.

  16. New Construction & ADU Appraisal

    Subject-to-completion appraisals from plans and specifications, final inspection certifications, and valuation of accessory dwelling units and major additions.

  17. PMI Removal & Home Equity Appraisal

    An appraisal establishing current market value to support a request to remove private mortgage insurance or to document equity for a HELOC or second position loan.
