Pick the question you're trying to answer
Every report answers one thing: what a Riverside property was worth on a stated date, for a stated purpose. For several of these, a California or federal rule fixes the date.
Estate appraisals
For heirs, executors and trustees after an owner has died. What was the home worth on the date of death, in the condition it was in that day?
Estate appraisals in Riverside →Probate appraisals
For personal representatives and their attorneys. In a California probate, a probate referee normally appraises the house for the court inventory (Probate Code sections 8901 to 8903), so what does an independent appraisal add?
Probate appraisals in Riverside →Divorce appraisals
For spouses and their attorneys dividing a home. What is it worth on the date your attorneys choose? California sets that date near trial unless the court allows an earlier one (Family Code section 2552).
Divorce appraisals in Riverside →IRS step-up / date-of-death
For heirs, surviving spouses and their tax advisers. What was the home's market value at death, so the new tax basis is documented (Internal Revenue Code section 1014)?
How step-up appraisals work →Residential appraisals
For owners, buyers, sellers and trust beneficiaries. What is this house, condominium or small multi-unit building worth today for the decision in front of you?
Residential and trust appraisals →Rush appraisals
For anyone facing a trial date, an assessment-appeal window or an expiring rate lock. Can it be done by your deadline? Give us the date first and we'll say plainly whether earlier delivery is workable.
Rush appraisals in Riverside →How an assignment starts
One call or one form is enough. We need four things from you:
- The property address. We confirm it falls within the City of Riverside neighbourhoods we cover.
- The intended use. Estate, probate, divorce, tax basis, a sale, or something else.
- The valuation date. Today, or an earlier date such as a date of death.
- Your deadline. Delivery depends on availability, access, complexity and research, so tell us the date you're working to.
You get a written, property-specific scope and fee before any work begins.
