Central Anaheim, Anaheim home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Central Anaheim houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Central Anaheim holds the city's oldest houses: Craftsman bungalows, Spanish-style cottages and a few Victorians in the Anaheim Colony, with postwar homes filling the blocks around them. People call me when a parent's old house needs a value for a trust or probate, or when a divorce means one owner keeps it, and they need the number before anyone starts clearing it out.

What I look at in Central Anaheim

  1. 1

    In the Colony, I look at what original detail survives: wood windows, porches, built-ins and old wood floors. A careful restoration and a stripped flip sell to different buyers, and your photos show me which I'm valuing.

  2. 2

    I ask whether the house is a listed historic property or has a Mills Act contract. That agreement stays with the property, and buyers notice the lower tax bill it brings.

  3. 3

    Some older lots here carry a back house or an apartment over the garage, a few of them decades old. I check records and permits and value that second unit carefully.

What to photograph

Photograph the front porch, original windows and doors, the fireplace, built-ins and floors, plus any back house or detached garage. Show the crawlspace vents or foundation, since many Colony houses sit on raised wood floors.

Central Anaheim questions

Grandma's old Craftsman in central Anaheim needs a lot of work, how is it valued?
As it stands. I need clear photos of the problems: the roof, foundation cracks, sagging floors, old wiring or plumbing, water stains. Then I compare with Colony-area sales in similar shape, including houses bought as fixers, so the value reflects the work a buyer would face.
How do we price dad's old house in probate before listing it?
The court's probate referee sets the inventory value, but pricing calls for current sales of houses like yours. I can appraise it as of today from your photos, showing what similar Colony homes sold for in comparable condition, so the executor and heirs start from the same number.
When would I get the report for a Central Anaheim 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.”
