Costa Mesa home appraisals in 24 hours

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

Costa Mesa sits on the mesa between Newport Beach and the Santa Ana River, with 1950s cottages on big Eastside lots, 1960s tracts in Mesa Verde and College Park, and newer small-lot homes on the Westside. I value homes here for estates, divorces and buyouts that can't wait, and on the Eastside the land itself is often what a buyer is paying for.

What I look at in Costa Mesa

  1. 1

    On the Eastside I often see an original 1950s cottage beside a big new build on the same size lot. I look for sales of both, so the land and the house each get their due.

  2. 2

    In Mesa Verde and College Park the tracts are fairly uniform, so I focus on remodel level, the pool, and whether a house backs onto the golf course or a busy street.

  3. 3

    On the Westside, newer small-lot homes and townhomes sit near older industrial blocks. I note what's next door and compare inside the same project or ones like it.

What to photograph

Photograph the whole lot, including side yards and the driveway, plus any granny flat, garage conversion or added second story. On the Eastside, step back and photograph the street so I can see the houses on either side.

Costa Mesa questions

Can I count my granny flat when appraising my Costa Mesa house?
If it's permitted, yes, and I compare with sales of properties that have similar units. An older unpermitted unit gets described honestly, but buyers weigh it differently and so do I. Send photos of the inside, the entrance and its parking.
We need a value for mom's Costa Mesa house from three years ago, possible?
Yes. I can appraise as of any past date, using Costa Mesa sales from around that time and the house's condition then. If you've remodeled since, tell me what changed and send any older photos or the old listing if there was one.
When would I get the report for a Costa Mesa 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.”
