Concord home appraisals in 24 hours

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

Concord spreads across the valley floor below Mount Diablo, from the older blocks around Todos Santos Plaza to postwar ranch tracts and the newer homes climbing toward Clayton. I value homes here after a parent dies, in divorces and for trusts, and since many of these houses have stayed in one family for decades, the first step is often sorting out what changed and when.

What I look at in Concord

  1. 1

    Concord's 1950s and 1960s tracts often have added family rooms or enclosed patios, and I check them against the county's recorded size and your photos before I count them as living area.

  2. 2

    Homes on the slopes toward Clayton and Lime Ridge often have Mount Diablo or valley views, and I keep them apart from flat-street sales near Clayton Road or Willow Pass Road.

  3. 3

    Near Todos Santos Plaza and the Concord BART station, condos and townhouses mix with small older homes, and I check HOA dues and any special assessment before I compare them.

What to photograph

Photograph the pool and its equipment, the patio cover and back yard, the roof and solar if you have it, and the Mount Diablo view from the yard or upstairs windows.

Concord questions

I'm the successor trustee, what kind of appraisal do I need for Mom's Concord house?
Usually a value as of her date of death, which generally becomes the new tax basis and helps you divide or sell fairly. I base it on Concord sales from around that date and your photos of the house as it was. If you plan to sell soon, I can add a current value too.
Does a pool add value to a house in Concord, or hurt it?
In Concord's hot summers, a pool in good shape usually helps, though rarely by what it cost to build. An old pool with cracked plaster or failing equipment can be a wash or a drawback. I measure it with nearby sales of homes with and without pools.
When would I get the report for a Concord 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.”
