Home appraisals in Amador County, by tomorrow

Every city and town in Amador County, same fee, same 24 hours, written and signed by me.

Amador County homes run from gold-rush houses on the hills of Sutter Creek and Jackson to ranch houses among the oaks near Ione and cabins in the pines at Pioneer. Amador requests usually reach me after a parent dies, during a divorce, or when a son or daughter moving into the family house needs a number fast.

What I look at in Amador County

  1. 1

    Old homes in Sutter Creek, Jackson and Amador City can sit on stone or brick foundations, with additions from several eras. I sort out what's original and how the add-ons were built.

  2. 2

    Around Plymouth and Fiddletown, homes with vineyard views or a few acres of vines sell in a different market than in-town houses, so I compare them with other wine-country sales.

  3. 3

    Up Highway 88 at Pine Grove and Pioneer, elevation changes the picture: snow, pines, wood heat and propane. I compare those homes with each other, not with sales down around Ione.

Across Amador County

Amador County climbs from oak grassland near Lake Camanche through the Highway 49 towns and Shenandoah Valley vineyards to snow country toward Kirkwood. I compare each Amador home with sales at its own elevation and setting.

What to photograph

Photograph the foundation where you can see it, the porch and old additions, the wood stove, and the well and septic area. On acreage, add the outbuildings, fencing and the view across the oaks or vines.

Amador County questions

Mom's house in Jackson is coming to me. Does Prop 19 change the taxes?
It can. Under Prop 19, a child who makes the Jackson house a primary home may keep all or part of the parent's tax base, depending on market value at the transfer. I give you that value; the Amador assessor and your tax advisor apply the rules.
Should we sell our parents' Amador County house as is or fix it first?
That choice is yours. I appraise the house as it stands, sagging porch and original kitchen included, so you can weigh that number against repair bids and the months a fix-up takes. Along Highway 49, plenty of older homes sell without updates.
When would I get the report for a Amador County home?
Within 24 hours of the moment I have both your payment and your photos, weekends and holidays included. If you're not in a rush, the regular schedule is 5–10 business days at $299 or $449.

“I've prepared desktop appraisals for every purpose on this list. Some situations still call for an in-person appraisal, though, so check with your attorney or tax advisor first to make sure a desktop report is right for yours.”
