What we do
Each service is focused on one purpose: giving you a credible, well-documented opinion of value for selling, planning, and financial decisions.
Pre-Listing Appraisal
Make a more informed initial pricing decision and help reduce the risk associated with unsupported overpricing. Know your value before you list.
PMI Removal
If your property value has increased, an appraisal may support a PMI removal request. Your mortgage servicer sets eligibility and valuation requirements.
Estate & Trust
Credible valuations for private estate settlement, trust administration, inherited property, and heir buyouts throughout Contra Costa, Alameda, and San Joaquin Counties.
Date of Death Appraisal
Retrospective valuations for IRS Form 706, stepped-up basis calculations, and estate planning purposes.
Divorce Appraisal
A neutral, market-supported opinion of value to assist both parties in understanding property value for settlement.
